Abstract
EXPERIMENTS relating to the spectral fine structure of decametric radiation from Jupiter have been described1,2. During the opposition of the planet in 1965 the high-resolution spectral experiment was repeated. The main equipment was the 14-channel spectrograph2 with channel-to-channel spacing of 50 kc/s and a frequency centred on 19.1 Mc/s. Some modifications were made to the antenna and display system so that the recording time constant was approximately 40 msec. I operated the spectrograph for 3–4 h each night from October 1 to December 31, 1965, at the Radio Astronomy Station of the University of Helsinki.
