Editorial [Joint URSI / G-AP Symposia]

Over the last many years the G-AP Symposia have attracted a predominance of antenna papers, while the propagation papers have gone to URSI meetings. Many members of the Mministrative Committee felt that more efficient use could be made of the time and money spent by the membership of both organizations if both antennas and propagation could be covered in a single meeting, Hence the G-AP Symposium and the Fall URSI Meeting were, for the first time, adjoint in time and coincident in location. Registration figures were as follows: G-AP 523; URSI 502. Everyone With whom I spoke commented favorably on this arrangement, One person said, however, that he could not get away for one week at a time, and thus had to miss one of the meetings. With the success of this arrangement, both the l967 meeting (Ann Arbor, Mich., Oct. l7-l9) and the l96B meeting in Boston will be adjoint.
