Reception of W VVV at four h igh-latitude stations is compared with ionospheric data during a period of severe ionospher ic sto rm iness. It was found that the reception q uality of WWV closely follows the morphology of t he d isturbance. Reception at the lower freq uencies was affected primarily by t he peA event and a urora l.-zone absorpt,ion, whi le at t he h igh er frequencies rcception depended upon the storm-time behavioJ' of thc F region. Also, reception was strollgly affected for several hours during the storm by the a ppearance of a large sporadic-E cloud. D es pite the fact that rcce ption quality was assessed by alll'al monitoring, agreement betll'ec n the reported 'vV'vVV reception and t hat which would be expected from the iono3phcric data is rath er good. It is conclu ded that the behavior of radio reception can be explained on the basis of t he space-time variations in ionospheric parameters.

Abstract : Expressions were developed for the complete radiation pattern from a finite axial slot on an infinite circular cylinder covered with a homogeneous, uniform plasma sheath. The resulting field expressions are functions of both the longitude angle and the polar angle. Numerical results were obtained for a thin lossless plasma to determine the variation of the field pattern with plasma frequency, plasma thickness, slot width, and cylinder radius. These results are presented graphically to illustrate various properties of the radiating system. (Author)
