Observational data of the seismic related VHF radio emissions at 41 and 53MHz obtained at the four stations of Create Island are presented. The epicenter of EQs is located at the distance more than 300km behind the horizon. It was shown that VHF radiation is generated at the altitudes 1–10km in the atmosphere over the epicenter of EQs. The theory of generation of electromagnetic radiation by random electric discharges was developed. These discharges are excited by DC electric field enhanced up to the breakdown value in the atmosphere. The field is connected with the electric current flowing in the atmosphere–ionosphere circuit, whose source is generated by convective transport of charged aerosols, which are injected in the atmosphere by soil gases during the enhancement of seismicity. Calculations of the spectrum of electromagnetic radiation are derived, and the theoretical results are confirmed by observation data.
