A simple method is given for exciting the first two propagating modes only in a waveguide model which approximates the earth‐ionosphere waveguide at VLF frequencies. A theoretical solution for the mode conversion at an assumed sunrise change in ionosphere effective height is obtained and verified experimentally.
