[SixClub] it WAS the majic band for Field Day in EM15

[John Carson]

Hi Mike,

So  the final  was 109...super! 

The kiddos were a bunch of fun for sure. They added a
new twist...The kids it seemed to me, drew in some
qso'd that might  (in my opinion) have otherwise been
missed.

Thanks for all your hard work!

73,
