Hi, longwave people from Carl Walde, LW 05
chairman, with my apologies for duplicate messages:
The Varberg Longwave Conference LW 05
will be held in late June/early July 2005.
The Nordic Radio Society, the Grimeton
World Heritage Foundation and AerotechTelub are very pleased to
confirm that the NRS/SAQ Longwave Seminar LW 05, earlier nicknamed VLF
05, will be held as announced 30 June - 2 July 2005 at Campus Varberg,
Sweden. In addition, a tutorial in longwave propagation and technology
will be held starting on 29 June. You may also want book the Sunday, 3
July, for participation in the Alexander Day and the rare event of
on-the-air operation of SAQ, the Grimeton Alexanderson Alternator
transmitter, which was declared a World Heritage in 2004.
This mail contains my introduction and a
condensed version of the first invitation and call for papers. Please
download the invitation and forms from the LW 05 website
http://www.alexander.n.se/longwaveconference.htm which will be updated
regularly.
As this is the first longwave meeting for
years, we kindly ask you to forward this mail, the wider the
better.
LW 05 INTRODUCTION
from chairman Carl who has been involved in the SAQ business for decades as manager of the navy telecom division and of the defence radio division in FMV, the Swedish defence materiel administration. At the seventh Nordic HF conference HF 04
on Fårö (http://www.nordichf.org) we spread the news that SAQ, the
80-year old Grimeton VLF station, had been added to the Unesco World
Heritage List. Then, an idea came up to run a long overdue longwave
reunion in Varberg and SAQ. As far as we know there have not been any
VLF meetings since 1992 (York and AGARD Paris).
Advance information was sent out by email and websites early Autumn 2004. We have received some but not fully reassuring interest. To keep costs within limits, two foundations will organise a lower-profile 2-3 day seminar beginning at lunchtime Thursday 30 June. The seminar will cover communications and navigation systems on ELF, VLF, LF and include a visit to Grimeton with SAQ running on dummy load. If LW 05 will turn our favourably, we will launch LW 08 as a full conference, HF 04 style. LW 05 which will be a scientific and professional event; i. e. with a fee for taking part. By that statement I do not think that radio amateurs involved in LF are non-professionals, rather the contrary. The seminar fee will be about euro 750 including meals, excluding lodging. The fee for the tutorial will be euro 190. Post-graduate university students pay half. Family members are welcome (no pay). For the preceding tutorial we are in the
process of finding literature and lecturers, from industry too. I
would like to receive suitable names. However, we will not be able to
pay those a formidable fee, but good company in good surroundings, and
free registration. Pse help.
PRELIMINARY SCHEDULE

LW 05 SCOPE
The Nordic Radio Society foundation (cooperating with SNRV, the Swedish National Committee of URSI, by stimulating industry, universities and administrations to keep up their competence and work together) and the Grimeton World Heritage foundation will sponsor the first Varberg longwave seminar on radio and radionavigation systems, but not mother nature emissions such as whistlers. Topics of interest include: - user
requirements and experience
- interoperability issues - role in network centric warfare - propagation studies and modelling - interference and noise - modulation, coding and link control - network architecture and coverage - equipment and systems -
software defined radio concepts
- multimedia access and applications - digital broadcast (incl MF) - electronic warfare -
simulation, modelling and evaluation
We emphasize the importance of
contributions from users, either as experience from the operation of
existing systems or as requirements for new systems. Technology is not
self-sufficient; there has to be a demand from the organisations that
in the end actually will operate the technology.
CALL FOR PAPERS
We look forward to your seminar
contributions not later than March 24 (papers or abstracts, any
formatting). Please use the Submission form.
