Comments:

Wow,  I got on the contest just to operate part time, and ended up putting about
6 ½ hours of 
	operating time (at least according to N1MM report). I was lucky enough to
catch two big 
	Openings that kept the rate clock in the 300 range. I was not able to get to
my aim score of 100k points.

	This contest was a way to fully test the new Icom 7600, which it
sure performed as 	
	expected, the 6 meter propagation also favored us this year, with a great
opening early on 
	Saturday that lasted about 4 hours, just to be interrupted by the typical
South Florida 
	afternoon Summer thunderstorms – which happened right at the peak of an
amazing pileup rate, and 
	kept me off the air for about 2 hours.

	At one point on Saturday, we had openings to the east coast all the way to the
mid west, 
	and to the Caribbean and to South America. On Sunday I still manage
to operate between 	
	Church and other Family obligations, until the bad pretty much die down on
us.

	Picked a few new grids, and states for my 6mts WAS which now is just missing 6
states, 
	it sure looks like the Magic Band is back for the summer.
