High-spin states in {sup 43}K were studied using the {sup 9}Be({sup 36}S,{ital pn}{gamma}){sup 43}K reaction. Threefold ({ital p}{gamma}{sub 1}{gamma}{sub 2}) coincidence data and {gamma}-ray intensity ratios were used to establish a decay scheme and identify negative- and positive-parity yrast decay chains. The 15/2{sup {minus}} yrast state is relatively poorly aligned prior to decay. Energies of positive-parity levels predicted by Johnstone are in good agreement with experiment.
