Parameters of the interstellar magnetic field - the strength ratio of the regular and the isotropic component and the orientation of the regular component - have been derived in the Local Galactic arm over a scale ≤ 1000 pc in the direction of the Galactic anticentre. The results have been obtained by an independent method involving analysis of the Galactic longitude dependences of the volume density of the low frequency Galactic background. An estimate of the ratio of the arm and interarm magnetic field strengths has been made.
