Abstract
DURING the years 1938 and 1939 fixed-frequency pulse observations were being used to record continuously the virtual height and echo intensity of reflexions from the F-region at two frequencies close to the vertical penetration frequency for the region. It was noticed that, in the daytime, the penetration frequency often showed quasi-periodic fluctuations with periods of the order of half an hour. The magnitude of the fluctuation was variable but frequently of the order of 1 Mc./s. from maximum to minimum.
