The planetary radio astronomy experiment on board both Voyager spacecraft detected bursts of pulsed radio emission at frequencies below about 1.5 MHz which originate near Jupiter. The bursts have a pulse repettion frequency which varies between 0.3 and 3 Hz, a pulse duration between 0.15 and 1.0 s, and a highly variable bandwidth. Before encounter they appear unpolarized, while after encounter roughly half of the bursts appear right-hand and half left-hand circularly polarized. At all times the occurrence probability of bursts above 1 MHz and below 0.3 MHz is lowest around 200¿ in system III longitude (&lgr;III). The importance of &lgr;III=200¿ to these bursts is reminiscent of the importance of the same longitude to the familiar hectometric and broadband kilometric Jovian radiation. ¿ American Geophysical Union 1989
