desired vertical angle ower all of the operating frequency range froa 1 to
23 pegacyeles,
The transmitting and receiving antennas and the ground plane
were in mutual perpendicular planes with the plane of the trananit' ing
antenna oriented 53° to the east of magnetic north,
.
site
Seme as for Rongerik and Kusaie, except that a C-3 Ionosphere
recorder was used,
Thie recorder is the same as the C-2, except for a fev
modifications ap! improvements.
The traneitting antenna in the C-97 was ea single vire delta
fastene’ to the laterel extremities of the teil asseably.
OPERATIONAL
Ground stations at Rongerik ani Kusaie, using 15 secord sveep operated
op normal 24 hour schetule:
5 sveepe per hour until A-15 sinutes; thence
continuous until BH + & hours; thence rcutim .
Airborne Station C-97:
Routine operation until H-15 minutes; thence
continuous using a % second sweep time until approximately H + 5 hours,
RESULTS
All stations operate’ successfully during this test.
There vere no
poticeable effects on the Ionosphere from this test,
