Stopped by the PO box this morning on the way to work and was surprised
to find the Sept/Oct NCJ. This issue comes approximately one month after
the previous July/Aug issue. Does this mean that we can expect the
Nov/Dec issue either before or around the first of Nov.?

(Haven't we already see this picture somewhere recently?; ah-ha! yes, in
Sept. QST's "Up Front In QST"). And just like QST, there are no more
details inside.
