Abstract

The polarization twist imposed on 106.1-Mc/s radio waves by the ionosphere has been investigated by using the moon as a passive reflector. This has been done with a view to learning the total electron column density even at altitudes above the known ionosphere. Because the antenna is capable of being continuously directed at the moon for 12 consecutive hours, observations are possible from the predawn ionization minimum to the noontime maximum.
