Conditions under which lightning whistlers are observed after propagating along geomagnetic-field-aligned paths outside the plasmapause are investigated, using results obtained from Antarctic whistler recordings in 1963, 1977, and 1982. Detectable propagation beyond the plamapause near dawn was found to occur on at least one path on roughly one half of the days studied. Maximum whistler activity outside the plasmapause was found in the afternoon, while in the 1800-2400 MLT, whistler activity beyond the plasmapause was least common. The large differences in whistler activity between afternoon and premidnight appear to be due to spatial differences in perturbing magnetospheric electric field activity and in electron density in the plasma trough region.
