Abstract Whistler dispersion were measured for whistlers recorded on ISIS 2 passes over Quito, Ecuador. The most numerous whistlers were those with dispersions which increases from about at 30 ° magnetic latitude (Λ) to between at the magnetic equator. Less numerous were whistlers with dispersions which decreased from at 30° Λ and between at the equator. Whistler echoes were observed with dispersions ranging from about at 30° Λ to at the eqautor. It is argued that the measured dispersions indicate that the whistlers observed are unducted.
