Call for Papers
Hello EMEers
The 14th International EME Conference to be held in Dallas, Texas on August 12, 13, and 14th in 2010. The event will be held at the Weston Hotel near the Dallas Ft.Worth airport in Irving. We just recently held Microwave Update at this hotel and the service, rooms and conference facilities were excellent. Hotel details as well as website check-in details will be forthcoming after the first of the year.
In keeping with tradition, the conference will primarily concentrate on EME on the 432 MHz and above bands. At this point, I have several speakers already signed up but we are still actively pursuing talks and papers on various aspects of EME communication. This includes topics such as dish design and feed systems, yagi antenna design, low noise receiving techniques, higher power solid state and tube amplifier design, TWTs, EME expeditions, tracking the moon, evaluating system performance and EME QSO procedures just to name a few. We are also interested in articles for the proceedings even if you are not going to present it at the conference. The ARRL will be publishing the proceedings.
Authors retain the basic copyright, and by submission, consent to publication in the Proceedings and possible publication of the Proceedings in CD/DVD format. If you are interested in submitting a paper please contact Al Ward, at w5lua (at) sbcglobal (dot) net for additional information. The deadline for papers is June 15, 2010.
Authors, you'll want to refer to our Proceedings Style Guideline.
The technical talks will be presented on both Friday and Saturday the 13th and 14th of August. While we are enjoying the technical talks, tours will be available by air conditioned buses for the spouses on both Friday and Saturday. We are also planning a tour of the Ft.Worth area on Thursday for both hams and spouses. So plan on arriving by Wednesday evening to take full advantage of all planned activities.
