Abstract
Over the years the equipments that have been evolved fall in two categories: those that are relatively simple and inexpensive and easy to operate in solar and ionospheric observatories, and those that are extremely complex and sophisticated facilities, available only to a few stations in the world. In the first category we have the SEA, SES/ SFA, SPA, SCNA, SFD and the satellite radio beacon method; in the second category, use is made of cross-modulation, partial reflection and incoherent-scatter. The flare programmes in the latter category are usually only a marginal part of the total activity of the facility, and frequently needs pre-planning and change in operational schedules.
