                               OCTOBER 1974

     The weekly solar bulletin from Boulder (April 1973 VUD, p. 27) was
     discontinued at the end of July. There is a possibility that some
     other type of publication (at $10/yr) might be put out in its place.

     My ham radio article on the VHF effects of Solar Cycle 20 has now been
     rescheduled to appear in the December issue.
