A study is made of electrons in the drift and bounce loss cones of the magnetospheric slot region. It is observed that discrete events account for the arrival of most electrons in the 100-400 keV range into the drift loss cone. Most such events originate from a high power level VLF transmitter. Calculations of the loss rate caused by the events indicate that the electron flux in the slot region may decrease by as much as 50% per day. It is likely that wave-particle interaction occurs low on the field line due to the particular particle energies and wave frequencies. In order to transport particles to the lower interaction region, additional near-equator scattering, via power-line harmonic emissions or ELF hiss, may be required.
