Scientific paper

Measurements of the vertical electric field strength of ELF and VLF radio waves in the Earth-ionosphere wave-guide to the south of New Zealand are presented. No significant mains harmonics (>1μ Vm-1) are found at frequencies above 1.5 kHz and the harmonic content is found to decrease in a southerly direction until at Stewart Island only a single but strong (~10 sm Vm-1) harmonic is present at 300 Hz. This harmonic is shown to be radiated by the Benmore-Haywards d.c. power line and not by the standard 220 kV a.c. power grid. A method of determining the level of the 300 Hz radiation retrospectively from the records of the Amberley Magnetic Observatory is described.
