\section{Introduction}
Whistlers waves were probably heard as early as 1886 on long telephone lines. In 1953, Storey showed that whistlers originate from lightning discharges, propogating along field-aligned tubes of density enhancement or depletion. The first experiment to investigate whistler waves in detail was by Stenzel in 19752, in a different plasma with a much higher density but otherwise comparable plasma parameters. This experiment is designed to confirm (or deny) these results and explore wave conversion to lower hybrid waves due to density perturbations. Appleton's equation will be used to simulate a model of the whistler waves in ducting and compared to the data taken to find where the theory matches experiment and where the approximations fail.
