Best time for VK long path is...

A little 14MHz WSPR monitoring overnight shows that VK3QN, fixed on a long path, 130 degree beam heading from Australia, is now peaking roughly 20 minutes earlier than it did around midsummer, just over two weeks ago.  Quite a sensitive indicator of the year's progression.
