are welcomed addressing the design and performance of all HF scientific
and surveillance radars with a focus on ionospheric aspects.
Contributions might include ray tracing and planning tools, frequency
management, coordinate registration, antennas, technologies and
architectures, new modes of operation and new observations. The latter
may include observations from both scientific HF radars
such as SuperDARN and surveillance radars, such as Over the Horizon
Radars (OTHR).</i></font></div>
