This research program addresses fundamental issues related to the interaction of a high-power, high- frequency (3 - 10 MHz) radio wave with the ionosphere. Data acquired with incoherent scatter radars and a modest (50 kW) VHF radar were examined. The reported observations were made with the Arecibo...
