Abstract :
Aircraft enhancement of troposcatter signal intensity on two troposcatter paths in the State of Washington has been experimentally verified by monitoring aircraft in the common volumes with an air traffic control radar. Observed enhancements usually lasted for several minutes, but occurred only if the aircraft was within a few kilometers of the great-circle path.
