Now I'm just talking to myself but , depending on the altitude of the Mercury orbits and the altitude of the Apollo orbiter above the moon it is possible that my first choice was actually correct.

Correct. When the command module was on the Pink Floyd(dark) side of the moon, they were about 2200 miles away from the nearest person(s) who were the two other astronauts on the moon. I am not sure but I do not think it is possible to be anywhere on earth and be further than 1000 to 1500 miles from another person. That would be another good question. Where is the potential for the most remote spot on earth? Somewhere in the Pacific at a certain point in time? It's definitely not the poles, too many observation stations. TG
