Recording Wireless Echoes at the Transmitting Station

Abstract

WE were much interested in a valuable paper by Mitra and Rakshit on “The Upper Ionized Atmosphere in Bengal”1. Their extension, to sub-tropical regions, of soundings of the ionosphere is very important. We are not concerned here to point out the bearing of the magneto-ionic theory on the results obtained by these authors, but the reading of the paper leads us to record one point arising from our experience of such work.
