The observed wave properties are compared with the theoretically predicted RH ?, LH + and LH ? wave modes. Between 10:36 and 19:11 SCET on March 13, 1986 the predicted dominating energy propagation direction mostly corresponds with the observed one. Only between 12:11 and 13:44 SCET there is no agreement. In this region the excitation of waves is dominated by pick?up ions which are not locally implanted ions in the solar wind but have been picked?up outside the plasma regime studied, and whose free energy is not already used up.
