I forgot one thing.

 

These new little LED headband lights are a MUST HAVE !!!  In fact, I just
bought two more this afternoon (amazing how 20% Off Sales can motivate a
person).

 

Twice in the dark and rain I had to go out to install and then remove a 9ft
Buddipole Shockcord whip extension from the top of the antenna which helped
a bit on 80m/40m.  Taking the whole screwdriver down and fiddling with the
extension screw in/out didn't leave an extra hand to hold a flashlight.
This headband LED widget was great.  Even when it slipped off my stocking
cap and fell apart as it hit the ground, I just shoved the batteries back
in, put the two pieces together, and it worked.
