The relative merits of ducted and non-ducted propagation of low-latitude whistlers are examined critically in the light of work done mostly in the Asian countries, India, China, and Japan since 1965. A growing consensus is found in favour of the non-ducted pro-longitudinal mode of propagation for nighttime whistlers, and the ducted mode of propagation in the presence of the equatorial anomaly for daytime whistlers. However, controversy still exists about the propagation mechanism of echo trains of whistlers observed at very low latitudes. An alternative mechanism is suggested involving a nighttime feature of the equatorial anomaly. Some recent unusual results are discussed in more detail: they include the observation of whistler triplets and the frequency and temporal fine structure of whistlers recorded for the first time in a low-latitude ground station. Lastly, further scope for work in the field is indicated.
