Abstract
THE choice by the U.S.S.R. of frequencies of 20 and 40 Mc./s. for radio transmissions from their Earth satellites provided a new approach to the study of the ionosphere, the main interest of the Radio Research Board in Australia. So arrangements were made to record the intensity variations of the signals.
