Introduction

[edit]

Technically, whistlers propagating below the local plasma frequency are not radio waves, but plasma waves propagating through the local charged plasma medium. Is this technical detail too nuanced? VoyagerLJG (talk) 19:54, 15 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Relevant Spacecraft Section

[edit]

The list of "relevant spacecraft" is out of context and should be removed. Drdan14 (talk) 23:14, 15 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I agree. Plus many of the spacecraft listed have never recorded whistlers. VoyagerLJG (talk) 19:47, 15 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Audio example

[edit]

An audio example would be nice, so we can hear what they sound like. Vaughan Pratt (talk) 02:59, 19 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

There are many freely-available examples at http://space-audio.org/ or video versions at https://www.youtube.com/user/VoyagerPWS. Shall I make a novice attempt to include one of these? VoyagerLJG (talk) 19:47, 15 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
