Well it has finally turned cold here in Raleigh; had the first frost this
morning since the CQWW SSB. As a result, there are no excuses for anyone
in this area not having finished all of their fall antenna projects for
this weekend's 10 Meter Contest.
Stopped by the PO box on the way to work this morning and found the
latest CQ Contest. The front cover photo shows what a winter storm does
to the quads at DF0HQ.

Don't forget the ARRL 10 Meter Contest this weekend. Today is a good day
to re-read KZ5MM's article in the Nov/Dec NCJ re the 10 Meter Contest,
titled "The World's Toughest Radio Contest". Everyone can work anyone
for points! Good Luck!
73 and good reading,
