Definitely not in the scoring zone from here.

I pushed on for another half-hour, but walked away at 60. The last straw 
was failing with a GD... dammit, we can *see* GD from here!

Interesting that GM4PMK's magnetometer on the Isle of Mull threw a minor 
wobbly right at the time of the contest. Not a huge aurora-type event, 
but definitely something happened.
