The source location and beaming of escaping terrestrial continuum radiation are studied using direction-finding measurements from the Dynamics Explorer 1 spacecraft. The radiation usually is generated near the magnetic equator at radial distances ranging from 2.0 to 4.0 R(E). The radiation is beamed outward in a broad beam directed along the magnetic equator with a beam width of about 00 deg. The overall frequency of occurrence of continuum radiation is 60 percent, with a sharp increase near the midnight meridian. Several case studies are presented to illustrate various characteristics of continuum radiation. A detailed comparison with the predictions of radio window hypothesis of Jones (1980) for the generation of continuum radiation show very little support for the hypothesis.
