ELF waveforms at large distances from strong CG (cloud‐to‐ground) discharges are evaluated in the framework of Greifinger's night‐time propagation model. It is shown that if the CG discharges triggering red sprites involve, as now generally accepted, ≳10² C of charge, then they should generate remote ELF atmospherics with considerably larger magnitudes than measured in the upper ELF (> 300 Hz) range.
