Ground-based VLF observations show evidence that strong whistler-mode waves in the magneto-sphere are often stimulated by harmonic radiation from electrical power transmission lines. These stimulated emissions sometimes dominate the wave activity in the kHz range. A VLF transmitter at Siple, Antarctica has been used to simulate these power line effects with ∼ 0.5 W radiated power at a given frequency. Occurrence statistics of power line effects are also summarized.
