Papers read at the Conference on Arctic Radio Wave Propagation
On February 18, 1954, we held a conference attended by representatives of military organizations in Alaska to discuss general problems of radio communications in the Arctic. Since that conference was so successful, we have decided to hold a second conference broadening its scope in attendance and su...
