We report on the properties of type II radio bursts observed by the Radio and Plasma Wave Experiment (WAVES) on board the Wind spacecraft over the past two solar cycles. We confirm that the associated coronal mass ejections (CMEs) are fast and wide, more than half the CMEs being halos. About half of the type II bursts extend down to 0.5 MHz, corresponding to a heliocentric distance of tens of solar radii. The DH type II bursts are mostly confined to the active region belt and their occurrence rate follows the solar activity cycle. Type II burst occurring on the western hemisphere of the Sun and extending to lower frequencies are good indicators of a solar energetic particle event.
