Abstract
THERE have been a number of attempts during the past few years to investigate movements in the earth's ionosphere by radio techniques, in which signals, transmitted from the earth, are observed after reflexion in the ionosphere1. This communication summarizes results obtained recently by a new method, in which use has been made of the extraterrestrial radiation from the two most intense radiostars in the constellations of Cygnus and Cassiopeia.
