Slow frequency drifts revealed by multichannel spectrometer observations of pulsars provide a sensitive method of detecting irregularities of electron density which are too large to cause interstellar scintillation. Observations of four pulsars are used to compare the density variations in the large- and small-scale irregularities. The values obtained are compatible with a Kolmogorov spectrum for scales in the range 10 to the 10th - 10 to the 13th cm, but suggest that the power-law index may exceed 11/3. The large irregularities offer a simple explanation of apparent reversals in two-station measurements of drift velocity.
