Scientific paper

It is reported that evening VHF transequatorial propagation can occur by ducting through discrete, equatorial plasma bubbles, in light of recent modelling by Heron and McNamara (1979). The model is used to interpret two-way, transequatorial communications reports, evaluating the size and location of the zone in one magnetic hemisphere which may receive the VHF radio waves from a single transmitter in the other hemisphere. The mean zone radius is 987 km at 144 MHz, and the zone is compressed in latitude and extended in longitude by an axial ratio of about 2:1.
