Default Propagation Characteristics Of the 60 Meter Band ??

I need to write up a brief description of the propagation characteristics of
this band.
Being it is between the 40 Meter and 80 meter band, I assume the 60 meter
band is local or very poor during the day. At night in the winter months,
propagation should offer characteristics similar to the 40 meter and 80
meter bands. Have read some reports of NVIS being used successfully for
local day communications.

Given that few countries (United States, United Kingdom, Norway and Iceland)
have privileges here and considering the power restrictions --- (Amateurs
may use USB *only* with a maximum effective radiated power (ERP) of 50 W.
Radiated power must not exceed the equivalent of 50 W PEP transmitter output
power into an antenna with a gain of 0 dBd), it would seem domestic contacts
(USA) are most likely.

Any comments are appreciated. Post here is fine.
I remain incognito on the NG's due to bad experiences in the past.
TIA
73 & Happy Holidays -- CL
