We present initial polar mesosphere summer echo (PMSE) observations over Alaska in the HF band. Echoes were detected near 85 km over 50% of the observation time even though it was late in the PMSE season. The signal‐to‐noise ratio sometimes exceeded 25 dB. We also present the effects of different transmitted powers and antenna pointing directions on PMSE strength and occurrence. There is some evidence that using 4.5 MHz electron heating occurred, even at the low duty cycle used.
