Welcome to the final edition of N&O in 2002. Besides some station news I have included an intelligence profile of the current and former Yugoslav republics.

I mentioned OTHR (Over-The-Horizon-Radar) and Chirp-sounders info in N&O from time to time. I have plans for a series of articles about this subject, starting next month. They will appear in my "Utility Round-up" column in the WUN newsletter. ~~WUN's URL is http://www.wunclub.com~~

Before we kick off, I'd like to wish everyone a GREAT AND HEALTHY 2003!
Don't forget to send us your logs and findings. We really need them!
