Twenty-Five Years Ago – Issue
No. 125 – Spring – 1985
The headlines of the Newsletter covered two topics: Nominations
for Board of Directors and the 1985 IEEE International
Symposium on EMC.
Nominations for the election of the EMC Society Board of
Directors were being accepted by William G. Duff, Nomination
Chairman. A petition form, including a biographical summary,
had to be received by June 1, 1985. The Biographical
Summary was not to exceed one-half typewritten page, containing
the following: Education History, Work History, Technical
Committee Service, and IEEE/EMC Membership.
The 1985 IEEE International Symposium on EMC was
held August 20–22, 1985 at the Colonial Hilton in Wakefield,
Massachusetts. The symposium’s theme was “EMC – A
Universal Goal.” The theme was chosen to stress the need for
engineers of all disciplines to be concerned about EMC. The
General Chairman was Chester (Chet) L. Smith and the Registration
Chairman was Arthur Murphy.
The Newsletter from 1985 also included a Point and Counterpoint
article by Anthony (Tony) Zimbalatti; a Chapter Chatter
column by Charles F. W. Anderson, Book Reviews by Jim
Hill, and EMC Abstracts by Melvin J. Johnson. The Editor was
Robert Goldblum.

The President’s message, by Joe Butler, was keyed to “Running
on Electromagnetic Energy.” The Chapter Chatter column
was written by Associate Editor Todd “Story Teller” Hubing.
An important article on the Chapter Coordinators Retreat Report
was written by Henry Benitez. The Conference he attended
was sponsored by the IEEE Technical Activities Board and IEEE
Societies and the primary purpose was to get a status report of
the current Society/Chapter relationship and share ideas on how
we can improve them. The theme for the conference was “Improving
Chapter Relations: Key to Society Success.”
Colin Brench wrote a guest article on “TC-9 Computational
EMC.” It addressed the Annual Applied Computational Electromagnetics
Society (ACES) conference which draws computational
electromagnetics enthusiasts from academia, government
and industry. Bob Rothenburg, Associate Editor on Practical
Papers, Articles, and Application Notes, published two articles
in his column. The first one was by Stephane Laik on “Radio
Disturbance Measurement and its Uncertainties” and the second
was by George Kunkel on “Penetration of Electromagnetic
Fields through Shielding Barrier Material.”
Norm Violette, an Associate Editor for Book Reviews, reviewed
a book by Reinaldo Perez titled “Wireless Communications
Design Handbook Aspects of Noise, Interference, and
Environmental Concerns – Volume 3: Interference into Circuits.”
Don Heirman, Associate Editor for EMC Standards Activity,
had a column on the latest in EMC Standards. David Case,
Associate Editor, wrote an article on “Inter-Society Activities.”
Bill Duff, Associate Editor for Personality Profile, wrote an article
on Marcello D’Amore. EMC Abstracts were presented by Osamu
