Radio signals from the ATS 6 beacon received at Boulder reveal small-amplitude, quasi-sinusoidal fluctuations with periods in the range of 10 to 50 s. Visual comparisons of these data (116 events for October 1974 to April 1975) shows a good correspondence with simultaneous geomagnetic pulsations at Boulder in two thirds of the cases for which Boulder magnetograms were available, but they do not necessarily correspond with magnetic pulsations on ATS 6. Spectral analyses, by the method of maximum entropy, were made on sample records. The principal results are the following: (1) The occurrence of the pulsations is higher on magnetically disturbed days. (2) The maximum likelihood of occurrence is around 2100 UT (1400 LT). (3) The dominant spectrum peaks of the radio fluctuations and geomagnetic field on the ground generally coincide. Cases are found also in which temporal characteristics of the spectra are similar. These results indicate a close association of the radio fluctuations with the Pc 3-4 type pulsations of the geomagnetic field on the ground. It is suggested that the radio fluctuations originate mainly in the F region of the ionosphere, while some of them could be due to plasmapause effects.
