Light ion concentrations were measured in the altitude range 300-600 km during an early experiment to test the European incoherent scatter system (Eiscat). A 500 microsec 600 kW pulse was used to acquire samples at intervals of 10 microsec and in 100 kHz steps. Data were acquired on the H(+) ion profiles, which for a reduced chi-square distribution were everywhere close to one. The ion concentration was observed to increase regularly between 0-300 km and at a mean rate of 2.5 pct at 600 km. Further studies to characterize the ion populations above 600 km when Eiscat is fully operational are indicated.
