Johnny,
You are oh so correct, it is not too early. Who knows what losses lurk in the
silent darkness of Oct, Nov & Dec.
Last week I started the process of getting permission to work from FM08US in
the NRQZ. Yesterday I noticed a lot of oxidation internally and externally on
the telescoping elements of my 6m beam. All polished up now.
This evening I will start making brackets to put the new 2m SSB mast mounted
pre amp on a DSE rover quick disconnect plate. Hopefully before Christmas the
spectrum analyzer will come out and the cable chasing antenna
tuning/verification will start.
With rain, ice, snow and subfreezimg temps it all takes a lot longer than
expected. It is never to early to start.

All,
It is not too early to begin thinking about the ARRL January VHF Contest.
We will again be on from our usual January QTH - EM84ao. We will be active
on 50, 144, 222, 432 and 1296 MHz. In addition to CW and SSB we will be
active with FT8 and MSK144 using WSJT-X V2.0 software. We are especially
curious to see what can be accomplished with FT8 on 2m.
From this location we can also support EME on 144, 222 and 432 MHz.
We hope to see you all on the air.
