The quicklook data from the RXTE/ASM indicate that the neutron star transient low mass X-ray binary 4U 1608-522 (QX Nor) has left quiecence and begun an X-ray outburst. Two ASM dwells on 2001 Nov 2 11:54-13:30 UT detected the source at 7.9+/-1.5 and 4.5+/-1.9 ASM c/s (1 Crab=73 ASM c/s). Five days later (Nov 7 10:56-10:59), it was again detected in two consecutive dwells, with 50.3+/-2.2 c/s and 48.1+/-2.6 c/s.
