"Being near the antipode may be one of the few cases where being farther

"This does seem to be true, too, from New England.  Western Australia
(VK6) is almost antipodal to my QTH in eastern MA.  VK6HD and VK6VZ are
sometimes remarkably strong on short path around our local sunrisem.  In
fact they are generally stronger and more consistent than the signals
from eastern Australia which is geographically closer."

VK6HD and VK6VZ are also consistently the strongest VKs here in So Cal,
but they're certainly not antipodal here.  They have good antennas, I
guess.
