Editorial, Jan. 1983 (Transactions)

As the outgoing Editor of this TRANSACTIONS I look back at three interesting years. I ask myself what has been accomplished for the MTT-S membership and the authors. Since there is very little feedback from the readers I like to think that, at least based on the number of papers rejected, only about 25 percent of the authors who have submitted papers to me are dissatisfied with my performance. Over these three years a total of 588 papers plus 10 special issues have been published.
