Scientific paper

This paper discusses first results obtained with the 440-MHz steerable Millstone Hill radar, (Westford, Massachusetts) on the powerful high-latitude coherent echoes from the E region often received when observing the lower ionosphere in regions roughly to the north of the antenna. The altitudes from which the echoes come are determined, and some detailed altitude profiles are given. Anomalies such as doubly-peaked spectral shapes and large-aspect angles observed during highly disturbed conditions are examined. The characteristics of the Millstone Hill radar's antenna are described, and the strengths and weaknesses of Millstone Hill as a coherent radar system for the study of E-region irregularities are discussed.
