Ionospheric waveguide propagation and source location techniques were used on data from a low latitude network of 5 stations (L = 1.8 to 2.8) and 1 at higher latitude (L = 5.4) to determine the exit region of Pc1 wave energy from the magnetosphere into the ionosphere. Interstation propagation time delays and polarization techniques determined the source location of individual Pc1 emissions to be in the L = 2.9 to 4.7 region, which is near or inside plasmapause positions determined statistically or directly from ISEE data. Elliptical Pc1 wavefronts in the waveguide were modeled using the full correlation ionospheric drift analysis technique to estimate the wavefront parameters. This wavefront geometry also explains the pattern of group velocities observed.
