Worked a number of SECC members. Good to see everybody on the bands.
Had a lot of fun in this despite the rough conditions on Saturday.

Comments:

Storms were the name of the game here, both atmospheric and geomagnetic.
Thunderstorms came through on all 3 days of the contest and forced me to
disconnect the antennas. On Saturday, I even suffered a power outage due to
severe weather.

The geomagnetic storm that occurred on Saturday really made conditions
difficult. The only EU I heard on Saturday were the really big guns. Thankfully
propagation was good North-South so I was able to work a number of stations in
South America which helped a bit. Conditions were very much improved by Sunday
evening as the contest was winding down. Hopefully conditions will improve for
next year. This was my best effort by far and WPX remains my favorite contest.
