Condx were VERY lousy at the start. A Index 90>, and geostorm in 
progress. Storm ended at 06:00UTC and condx improved somewhat, then 
improved markedly come Sunday. A index fell to <5 and the K index fell 
to 2. Geoactivity improved from "severe storm" to "unsettled to active".

Sunday, 15m to Europe and Asia was open at the same time, as condx 
improved, so did the QRM (good to see really.... more stations to work 
... tired of the "dupe"). Worked many stations several times on multiple 
bands. Engaged in friendly rivalry with another multi/single station, 
made the contest even more fun. We're planning next year already (better 
on 40m).

Equipment:
FT1000 to Alpha;
Tribander at 90feet.
PK232.
Station: Ralph Olds VE5TR
