Topside-sounder receiver observations by ISIS 1 that reveal examples of o-mode auroral kilometric radiation (AKR) are presented. They correspond to locations outside of the low density source region of intense AKR x-mode emission. The propagation modes are identified by comparing the natural radiation wave cutoffs with the local resonant and wave cutoff phenomena stimulated by the sounder transmitter. The o-mode AKR is the dominant emission in these regions of relatively high electron density, but it is considerably weaker than the intense x-mode AKR observed to emanate from low density cavities above the auroral regions. In addition to the fundamental o-mode, 2nd and 3rd harmonic bands of radiation have also been detected. Harmonics associated with these o-mode AKR are less intense than the harmonics associated with x-mode AKR. It is difficult to explain the variety of harmonic AKR observations (x as well as o-mode) based on present AKR theories. Previously announced in STAR as N83-27517
