Bistatic observations of an active dipole in a space plasma were made during the suborbital tethered experiment OEDIPUS C, carried out on a sounding rocket flight in late 1995. Throughout the flight, whistler-mode waves were transmitted at 25 kHz from a 19-m dipole on the forward payload to a 13-m dipole on the aft payload. This frequency was very much less than the plasma frequency fp, which in turn lay well below the gyrofrequency fc for most of the flight. The change of fp with time caused the receiver position to be swept through the 25-kHz group resonance cone during a segment of the flight. Signal strengths were found to be enhanced along the group cone, as predicted by theory. Observed radiated levels are about a hundred times greater than theoretical predictions based on independent estimates of the driving-point current. The modulation of the received signal caused by the spin of the receiving dipole was consistent with the theoretical expectation that the quasielectrostatic electric field is polarized predominantly along the wave-vector direction
