The equatorial electrojet current, which is modulated by an ionospheric heating facility, radiates ELF/VLF waves. The calculation of this radiation is performed using a new stable full-wave method for a horizontally- stratified arbitrary anisotropic medium, with arbitrary harmonically-varying current distribution. This method is capable of calculating the radiation into both the ionosphere and the Earth-ionosphere waveguide. Unlike heating at high latitudes with significant emission of whistlers, at the geomagnetic equator the radiation goes only into the Earth-ionosphere waveguide. The radiated energy flux is in general higher than that for a similar high-latitude heater, and is also found to be anisotropic in the horizontal direction.
