VLF signals in the 2–4 kHz range transmitted from Siple Station, Antarctica (L ∼ 4.3), and received at various Antarctic locations have been used to detect the occurrence of burst precipitation of electrons (E ≥ 50 keV) into the nighttime lower ionosphere. The receiving stations, each ∼1400 km from...
