To which I'm adding...
Well I hope you guys get this all squared away before 2018. I am expecting my financial windfall to be achieved a few years prior to that. My goal is to get my remote contest station carried aboard the next Lunar Mission. I expect to be fully operational (remotely) for the 2019 contest season. Propagation predictions look pretty darn good from that vantage point.

BTW, has the ARRL assigned an Entity number for a lunar QTH yet?
