Radar backscatter at 50 MHz, rocket, and VHF/GHz scintillation measurements of spread F-italic irregularities at the magnetic equator in Peru were made during the Project Condor campaign in March 1983. The paper discusses the coordinated set of observations on two evenings, March 1 and March 14, 1983, when the altitude of the F-italic region peak differed by more than 150 km. The full complement of equatorial spead F-italic phenomena, namely, the occurrence of 3-m plume structures and VHF/GHz scintillations, were recorded on both these evenings.
