Based on Imp 6 and 8 satellite observation data, a comprehensive study of terrestrial kilometric radiation is presented. In the light of these data, the earth appears to be a very intense planetary radio source, with a total power output comparable to the decametric radio emission from Jupiter. Terrestrial kilometric (i.e., about 50-500 kHz) radiation seems to originate from low altitudes in the auroral region.
