Abstract
Sporadic E ionizations indicated a very interesting motion or drift during the period June 17–18, 1949, over North America. The reflections were reported from 23h00m GMT on the 17th to 05h00m GMT on the 18th, by radio amateurs operating mainly in the frequency range 50–54 mc/s. The amateurs, whose cooperative spirit and interest in this venture contributes directly towards its success, report a sporadic E observation whenever radio contact is made with another amateur by means of the Es layer. The reports are then carefully screened to insure that the mode of propagation may not be attributed to ground wave, F2‐layer reflections or superrefraction arising from meteorological conditions.Keywords
