dc.description.abstract	Preliminary results of observations, made on the eclipse day (Feb. 16, 1980) at Hyderabad, on the amplitude and phase of 136 MHz transmissions of the geostationary satellite ETS-II are presented by the eclipse. The percentage decrease in Faraday rotation showed an excellent correlation with percentage increase in optical obscuration of the Sun with a time lag of about 12 minutes. No amplitude scintillations were observed on the night of the eclipse day, though there were strong scintillations on adjacent days.	en
