Comments:

This is my 10th DX-pedition to Zone 2 as a VE2IDX.
I came to Sept-Iles, Northern Quebec a few days before CQWW, it was 3 different
flights during the day.
I operated SOSB (A) 14 MHz, on Saturday condx was great, but strong Aurora on
Sunday with K=4 at latitude=50 degrees in Northern Canada makes your life quite
hard. The Sunstorm destroyed lots of the DX signal strengths, make almost
impossible to create European pile-ups on Sunday morning and it started to come
back to normal on Sunday afternoon only. 
MANY THANKS to all stations who called me during the pile-ups but due to high
QRM almost all QSOs on Sunday afternoon I did with turned-on attenuator -18 dB
and noise blankers as well. 
Anyway, it was a lot of pleasure to operate in CQWW as usual.
Many thanks to Andre VA2VVV, Steve VE2TKH, Frank VA2FGG, and Yuri VE3DZ for
great help with the preparation of this DX-pedition to the Canadian North.
73,
Igor VE3ZF - VE2IDX
