Some more VK3 reception.

More for my records than of any real interest to others, a report on VK3MO and VK3QN 14MHz WSPR reception 06-07 November 2020 under Kp~2 conditions.  Both stations are large Yagi arrays.

With VK3MO turned from LP to SP at the time the long path was weakening rapidly, we can - briefly - see the nice contributions from each path, given that VK3QN is a fixed long path to Europe array (beaming 130 degrees):

14MHz receptions of 06-07 November (labelled '07') and 07-08 November (labelled '08') are plotted below, showing the significant variations in signal, despite the geomagentic conditions being broadly similar on both days, except for what are obviously important field differences in varition at very high latitudes:
