I have been looking over some of the matters which IARU Region II Member Societies plan to raise for discussion at the IARU Region II Conference, to be held in Venezuela in late September/early Octob

A few people remarked during the contest that they were looking forward to my write-up, so here it is. First of all, I would like to set the scene for the propagation observed by a few comments on th
