Abstract | In 1955–1956, soon after the announcement by Burke and Franklin of the existence of decametric bursts from Jupiter and Shain’s report on pre-discovery observations carried out in Australia in 1950–1951, Alex Shain and Frank Gardner carried out observations of this emission at 19.6 MHz from the CSIRO’s Division of Radiophysics Fleurs and Potts Hill field stations in Sydney. Some Fleurs observations also were conducted at 14 and 27 MHz. This paper1 reports on these observations, made prior to Shain’s untimely death in 1960. |
