Scientific paper

The paper reports some preliminary results from a recent scintillation experiment performed at two ground stations in Wyoming and by an instrumented aircraft in conjunction with ionospheric heating by a high-power high-frequency transmitter at Platterville, Colorado. The notable feature of the experiment was the operation of the heating transmitter at a frequency not only below the critical frequency of the ionosphere (overdense heating) but above the critical frequency (underdense heating) as well. It is found that HF-driven instability in the underdense ionosphere can give rise to observable scintillation effects at 250 MHz. The implications of such effects for the proposed Solar Power Satellite system are emphasized.
