Hello Microwave Enthusiasts 

The ARRL is once again publishing the Microwave Update proceedings. At this
time, we are soliciting additional papers for the proceedings. You do not
have to be presenting to have an article published in the proceedings.
Papers must be emailed to Kent,  <mailto:wa5vjb at flash.net> wa5vjb at flash.net,
by August 31st as we will be submitting them to the league for printing the
week of Sept 3rd. Please copy Al,  <mailto:w5lua at sbcglobal.net>
w5lua at sbcglobal.net,  as well.  

If you have an interesting project that you have been working on, please
consider sharing it with the community by publishing your work in the
proceedings.

The guidelines for conference proceeding papers is at the bottom of this
email.   

If you have any questions, please let us know.

Looking forward to a great conference and thank you for your support.

Hope to see you in Dallas October 3rd, 4th and 5th.

Guidelines for Papers for Conference Proceedings

All papers should be in electronic format. We can accept almost any type of
file – Word

or PDF. I prefer Word as format as it allows me to make format changes if
needed.

If sending a PDF, all fonts should be embedded. We can also accept EXCEL,

ACCESS and Power Point files.

 

Paper: Size should be 8½ x 11-inches.

 

Margins: Top and sides should be 0.75 inches; bottom must be 1 inch.

 

Type: You may use any font you’d like. The type should be clean and easy to
read. (We

usually use 12 pt Times New Roman.)

 

Layout: Either a one or two-column format is fine. (We usually use one
column.)

 

Page numbers: It’s not necessary to include page numbers.

 

Headers/Footers: You don’t need to add any. If you do include them, it’s
likely they’ll be

removed, or the page shrunk to include them.

 

Drawings: Drawings should be embedded in the files, or sent separately for
us to include.

Place them where you’d like them to appear, or indicate in the text where
you

would like them. If placement is not indicated, drawings will run after the
text.

Remember that the Proceedings book will print in black and white. Multi
colored

graphs, etc, will be in shades of gray. Thin, light lines in drawings may
drop out.

 

Photos: Color or black-and-white digital images, either embedded in text or
as separate

files. Place them where you’d like them to appear, or indicate in the text
where

you would like them. Don’t forget to indicate (in the text) where they
should be

placed. If placement is not indicated, photos will run after the text.
Photos will

print in gray scale. Unless there’s a specific reason, photos should 3 to 4
inches. If

they’re too large, they begin to lose resolution and appear muddy.

 

Printing: We print what we receive. We do not copy edit (but will correct
something if

we notice it – or if you notice it and let us know). We do try to make all
papers

somewhat uniform, but we do not redo each article. Page numbers are added as
we

prepare the files for our printer.
