We report on the jovian hectometric radio emission (HOM) observed simultaneously by PWS and WAVES experiments on board Galileo and Wind spacecraft, respectively. The positions of both spacecraft allow us to analyse the occurrence of the HOM emission in the frequency range from 300kHz to 3MHz. The jovian hectometric occurrence enables the study of the emission beams, in particular the geometric conditions where Galileo spacecraft is orbiting in the jovian magnetosphere and Wind satellite is close to the Earth magnetosphere. We select HOM features (arcs) observed by both spacecraft when Jupiter, Galileo and Wind spacecraft are aligned. In such a geometric configuration it is possible to compare the characteristics of the hectometric beams taking into consideration the corresponding HOM beam patterns. We show the presence of a selective effect at four specific longitudes where only small parts of this beam are observed by the Wind/WAVES experiment which may appear surprising because the global beam intensity level is nearly the same as that measured by the Galileo/PWS experiment. Those longitude values are found to be comparable to the minima and maxima of the attenuation band reported in previous studies (Gurnett et al., Geophys. Res. Lett. 25 (1988) 1841-1844). It appears that the Io satellite and its torus may have an important influence on the generation of radio emissions in HOM and also DAM domains which could explain the large frequency range of some HOM/DAM arcs which extend from 300kHz and reach up to 40MHz.
