Observation of the field strength of low frequency radio waves (164 kHz) transmitted during night hours from Tashkent and received at Ahmedabad show increased absorption around the sidereal times of the transit of the X ray stars Sco X-1 and Tau X-1. It is estimated that the ionization in the D region produced by these X-ray stars can explain the observed changes in field strength.
