Dear Colleagues
The call for papers for the forthcoming IEE Ionospheric Radio Systems and Techniques conference is now available from http://conferences.iee.org/IRST2006/. The conference will take place from 18-21 July 2006 in London. Historically this conference has concentrated on HF systems and propagation but this year the scope has been widened considerably to include other ionospheric systems and propagation issues.The scope of the meeting is summarised below.
Kind regards
