The analysis investigates the base heights of the ionosphere (h′F) when spread-F is recorded at Brisbane, Australia, for 2 separate periods, namely July and August 1966 when spread-F occurs frequently and September and October 1966 when the activity is much lower. It is found that for July and Augus...
