With the geomag storm that started early Friday, I got off to a terrible slow
start and as Saturday dawned, I was way off the pace I had wanted.  I should
have remembered Winston Churchill's "Never, Never, Never give up!"
and stuck to
it.

After no JA's on 15 on Friday afternoon, my expectations were NIL for the 
Saturday afternoon.  Boy was I wrong!  I had a three hour run of my life on
15 and got back in the game.  Even motivated me to set the alarm clock earlier
than usual to hit 40m.

I finished with my best score ever in this event - greatly helped by a
spectacular (at least for cycle 24) opening to EU on 15m Sunday that lasted 
well into the afternoon.

Tired but happy - thanks to everyone for the QSOs - there were some amazing
QSO counts - I suspect quite a few records fell this weekend despite Old Sol
and his best plans.
