ERATORS ALL SCORED WITHIN 25,000 POINTS OF EACH OTHER IN THE 368,000
390,000 POINT RANGE.  CAN THE 1,000,000 POINT GOAL EVER BE REACHED BY A
SINGLE OPERATOR?  WILL CONDITIONS EVER BE THIS GOOD AGAIN FOR SUCH AN
EXTENDED PERIOD DURING A VHF CONTEST?  I AM FORECASTING THAT THIS SINGLE OP
SCORING RECORD WILL STAND FOR SEVERAL DECADES.  IT CERTAINLY WILL BE A
TARGET THAT WILL BE HARD TO BEAT.  LOOKING OVER THE SOAPBOX FROM THE SINGLE
OPS, THE WORD FANTASTIC WAS USED IN ABOUT EVERY OTHER COMMENT WHEN
DESCRIBING THE 6 METER CONDITIONS.  QRP QRP OPERATORS ARE TO BE
CONGRATULATED FOR THEIR PARTICIPATION, AS THEY ADDED SO MUCH CHALLENGE.
THERE ARE STILL 16 ARRL SECTIONS THAT HAVE NOT YET HAD A QRP STATION
OPERATING THE JUNE QSO PARTY, SO THERE ARE RECORDS TO BE ESTABLISHED FOR
THOSE OPEN SLOTS.  OUR TOP QRPER THIS YEAR WAS CHRIS MERCHANT, KA1LMR, WHO
WITH 120,000 POINTS SET A NEW HAMPSHIRE QRP RECORD, MOVING INTO FIRST PLACE
THIS YEAR, UP FROM HIS SECOND PLACE FINISH IN 2005.  JOHN MORRICE, K6MI,
WHO WAS CHRISS TOP COMPETITION LAST YEAR, SQUEEZED BACK INTO SECOND PLACE
WITH HIS 84,000 POINTS, BUT HE ALSO SET A NEW QRP SAN JOAQUIN VALLEY
