After a little bit of a quiet spell at the end of the summer, the RF trade show circuit is going to heat up.  October is always one of the busiest months for trade shows and this year is no exception.  There is an emphasis in military oriented shows around this time of year, but I not sure if there is any reason for that.  Microwave Journal editors will be attending IEEE Autotestcon, European Microwave Week (EuMW), China International Conference & Exhibition on Microwave and Antenna (IME/China), IEEE Phased Array Conference and Military Communications (MILCOM) and perhaps a couple of others if time allows.  I will be at many of these events so will not be in the office much during the month of October.  Here are the dates and locations of each one – I encourage you to attend some of these events and meet with some of the great people in our industry.
