Hello SWLs,
Here is news of the HAARP facility, courtesy of Wolfgang,
DF5SX.....
-------
ALASKA HAARP facility to QUADRUPLE POWER.
Technical Specialist Richard Lampe, KL1DA, represented the League at the
2003 High Frequency Active Auroral Research Project (HAARP)
<http://www.haarp.alaska.edu/>
RFI meeting September 24 at the HAARP site near Gakona, Alaska.
"Joint funding through DARPA will allow HAARP to quadruple in size from
its current 960 kW output to 3.6 MW," Lampe says. "When completed in 2006,
HAARP will then be the premier ionospheric research facility with beam-
steering capabilities that other similar arrays worldwide don't have."
Under terms of its experimental licence, HAARP must transmit on a non-
interference basis, and Lampe who is ARRL liaison to HAARP says the staff
at the control centre immediately shut down the txs when harmonics were
detected on 75/80 metres during experiments last year. "Alaska hams
monitor the bands and aid HAARP engineers by reporting RFI issues as soon
as they happen," Lampe said.
Other participants at the meeting included representatives from the
Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association, the US Air Force, the US Navy and
on-site staff and research students.

Danke Wolfgang!
