NEW HAARP INFORMATION
http://elfrad.org/2000/haarp.htm
It has come to our attention, the HAARP project in Gakona, Alaska is perhaps being used for much more than is publicized. Below is a letter Elfrad received from Mr. Marshall Smith of the Teddy Speaks Foundation. We welcome your comments and opinions concerning this controversial subject.

ELFrad Group
Sirs:
I was glad to see your recent additions on the ELFrad group web page,
especially the Year 2000 Anomalies. I had assumed by now someone had
already explained to you the source of the 0.9 Hz signal and the 5 sec pulses with the 30 sec spacings. I have been monitoring them for over a year using shortwave radio. These are the ULF components of the HAARP signals
from Gakona Alaska, coupled into the earth's magnetic field using the Auroral Jet.
The HAARP project "ostensibly" is for short-wave, VHF and UHF
ionospheric research under the aegis of numerous universities along with
the Navy and Air Force. The facility came online for testing in 1997, but began actual full time operations as a Navy system for deep sea submarine
communication in early 1999. This consists of signals in the 1 to 10 Hz
range which can be received by submarines at depths greater than 1000
feet and does not need a long wire external antenna dragging behind the boat
as did the older style ULF receivers. The new HAARP system actually
modulates the earth's magnetic field and the communication can be received at great depths in both rock and water anywhere in the world using only a magnetometer, not an electromagnetic ULF receiver.
The signals broadcast by the HAARP transmitters consist of multiple
megawatt power pulses but is confined to a sharp narrow beam which is
focused upward above Gakona Alaska at the region where the Van Allen
Radiation Belts or the shell of the magnetosphere intersect the
atmosphere.
This region is called the Auroral Jet. As the particles from the sun in the
radiation belts impact the ionosphere they are suddenly forced sideways
by the rotation of the atmosphere around the earth. This is in-effect a large polar electric accelerating current at both the north and south magnetic poles and is the major component of the earth's magnetic field.
The HAARP transmitters operate in the shortwave band at 3.39 MHz and
6.99 MHz. The actual frequencies are not important to the
communication system. Whether the Navy uses the lower or higher frequency only determines how high into the auroral jet the RF energy penetrates and that depends on the time of year and the amount of solar wind activity as a function of the 11 year sunspot cycle.
Earlier research with smaller experiments had shown by using shortwave
beams focused on the ionosphere, some of the very low frequency
components of the radio signal are imposed or modulated onto the earth's magnetic field. The placement of the HAARP facility directly under the auroral jet makes it unique and ideal for modulating the jet and thus producing a communication signal which can be received anywhere in the world where the magnetic field can be sensed.
The primary modulation of the HAARP transmitters is a component of
about 1 to 6 Hz which matches the natural frequency of the Schumann
resonance which is caused by the effectively large electrical cavity between
the radiation belts of the magnetosphere and the lower ionosphere. This
cavity normally is filled with RF static noise typically called whistlers
created by numerous random powerful lightning discharges around the
earth.
The effect of the HAARP transmitter is to produce a very large and
coherent 5 second "whistler" with a frequency of about 1 to 7 HZ depending on the direction, time of day and the shape of the magnetosphere. This powerful "forcing" signal impressed upon the natural Schumann frequency can "ring" or oscillate from North to South Pole for several to possibly 10 or more seconds. This means, to be used as a communication system, the modulating signal must have a time component longer than the ringing.
To accomplish this, the Navy has produced a standard modulation system
consisting of a 5 second pulse with either 30 sec or 15 sec spaces
between the pulses, longer than the 'ringing.' The pulses, for communication
purposes, are all about the same and contain no data. The signal data
actually is the spaces in between the pulses and are a form of "morse
code" of short and long spaces, not the "ringing" pulses themselves..
There are several disadvantages to this type of communication, (1) it
is very slow, and (2) it is only one-way communication. But, its primary
advantage is nuclear submarines of the Trident, Los Angeles and Sea Wolf
classes, which all have been recently or are just now being retrofitted with
new standardized ULF/magnetometer equipment, can now remain at
"stealth" depth for 6 months or more and can be directed to pre-determined locations with standard orders from the commander-in-chief.
Prior to the construction of HAARP, ULF signals directed to "at depth"
stealth subs, as long ago as the Viet Nam war, often had to be fed from
"mother ships" within a region of about 1000 miles from the sub. The
presence of the mother ships gave away the location of nearby active
stealth subs and also limited the range of the submarines. The new technology of HAARP allows submarines to operate at greater stealth depth moving anywhere in the world, 6 months or longer, and still remain under command and control.
Unfortunately, this represents a military technological advance over
all other countries and thus is "classified Top Secret" and so no
information about the purpose or methods of the HAARP ULF technology
has been released to the public. This means groups such as ELFrad have not
been informed that the Navy is now the largest producer of ULF signals in the world. You have not been informed about the times or source of the broadcasts nor the nature of the modulation.
To confirm what I am "hearing" on 3.39 or 6.99 MHz shortwave is the
same as what you are receiving using a ULF receiver, I have made
numerous correlations between my shortwave observations and the archived data from Frank Condon's magnetometer. If the two signals are from the same
source there should be a close match between my data and Frank's, since I am
only several miles south of him in San Jose, California.
The two signals do seem to be an excellent match, but there are some
differences. The first is due to my only being able to receive the weak
shortwave signals from the HAARP side lobes during the night time even
though HAARP may continue to broadcast during the daytime. For me to
receive HAARP, given the distance from Gakona Alaska to San Jose, I calculate it must be a double short-wave skip reflection off the d2 layer of the ionosphere which only occurs at night. The d2 layer is quickly disrupted
and dispersed by morning sunlight.
In winter, I can monitor HAARP from about 6 PM all night until 7 AM
local time. In March and April this is reduced to about 9 PM until 5 AM
due to the tilt of the earth and the fact HAARP is near the Arctic Circle. On June 1st this is reduced to about one hour about 1 AM and by June 12th I
heard nothing from HAARP even though Frank's data shows a HAARP
broadcast for about an hour at midnight Alaska time, or 1 AM my local time or 1000 UTC.
Thus whenever I have heard a HAARP broadcast on either 3.39 MHz or
6.99 MHz, I also notice Frank's magnetometer is recording the anomalous signal.
But the reverse is not always true since I cannot always hear the
transmissions due to the limitation of not always having a smooth d2 skip
layer available for monitoring the signal. This, of course, shows the
advantage of using ULF modulation of the magnetic field as a better more
reliable "long haul" world-wide communication system over the old shortwave systems.
A further confirmation that HAARP is the source of the anomalous 0.9 Hz
signal is the exact spacing of the often seen 30 second spaces between
the pulses. This actually is the resting or idling mode of the communication
system and occasionally, as is shown in some of your charts, also contains
spaces which are exactly 15 seconds long. I have also seen a 12 sec on/off
pattern, lengthy continuous transmissions, and other patterns but these
are rare. I have many times recorded "submarine communication" data
consisting of several hours of long and short, 30 and 15 sec spaces, in what seems a "random" pattern, with May 4, 2000, about 1200 UTC being a good example.
The length of the pulses are mostly 5.8 seconds but I have seen some
which are slightly longer or shorter and the length of the pulse appears to
be a function of monitoring the signal in a specified direction and ensuring
a full "whistler" return signal from the south pole. This is necessary since
the Schumann resonance and the path length in a given direction changes
with the time of day and the compressive effect of the solar wind on the magnetospheric cavity on the sunward side of the earth.
To accomplish Schumann Resonance matching, additional "rider signals"
are transmitted. This "return signal monitoring" for computer control of all
the 148 in-parallel HAARP transmitters is used to modify the modulation
frequency and pulse length using the rider signals. These consist of two
types. First, is a set of two pulse identifier tones. The first tone is 275
msec long and the second is 175 msec long. These tones are similar to the
DTMF tones on a telephone or the MF (Multi Frequency) tones used
internally by the phone company for long distance trunk line control. But the tone coding used here is neither, but a newer military-government standard. In one of my samples, for example, the first tone is 360, 1000, and 1700 Hz and the second tone is a 660 and 1300 Hz combination.
I should note, these tones would represent ELF signals and are thus
filtered out of your ULF receiver and are not seen or heard. I am sure if
you raised the corner on your filter to about 2000 Hz you may "see" the
pre-pulse identification tones.
Along with the power pulse but sometimes longer or shorter than the
main pulse is a single tone of 2100 Hz and a weaker tone of 2500 Hz. The
2500 Hz tone remains on during the whole pulse transmission. While the
2100 Hz tone only begins at the end of the identifier tones at 450 msec, at the start of the power signal, and occasionally may extend about 500 msec
after the main pulse. These "rider" signals are not part of the main modulation and are a component of the feedback loop used to maintain full magnetic modulation in a specified direction.
I mention the additional rider signals, since I hear and see them but
you have filtered them out. They also account for why you only see a 5 sec
pulse when the full HAARP signal is actually about 6.25 sec long. What is
the same in both cases is the exact spacing of 15 and 30 seconds between
pulses. The method of pumping the high power of the HAARP signal into the
Auroral Jet consists of a series of effectively terawatt pulses of very
short length. These upward directed RF pulses cause instantaneous
heating or acceleration of the polar jet electrons relative to the slower more massive protons. This relative motion of the auroral electrons and protons creates an up/down oscillating electric field which propagates around the polar aurora jet, similar to a lightning bolt's up/down current creating a "whistler." The modulation consist of two series of simultaneous pulse trains with slightly different frequencies. The beat frequency between the two pulse trains is the actual modulation. This consists of a sweep through the Schumann resonance from about 0.9 Hz up to about 6 Hz several
times during the approximate 5.8 sec power pulse. Apparently, the pulses are
turned off when the return signal from the Southern Auroral Jet has
reached sufficient power. This accounts for the slightly varying length of the main power pulses. Since the Auroral Jet is a primary component of the earth's magnetic field, this effectively modulates or oscillates the magnetic field at the Schumann Frequency.
I have taken the audio sample from your web page and compared it to my
numerous samples of HAARP. I have also done a spectral analysis using
FFT on both my samples and your anomalous signal sample. I find them to be
extremely similar. Your sample seems "truncated" at 5 sec but this may be
due to your trying to eliminate the extraneous beginning and ending static
noise. My signal sample shows a pulsed signal with a length of 5.8 sec with
the 450 msec of pre-pulse identifier tones. I find it rather amazing to find
much similarity at all, considering the two very different methods of
receiving the same signal. I receive a signal using shortwave at 3.39 MHz,
double or single sideband, and yet hear something similar to what you
receive at 1 or 2 Hz, where double or single sideband has no meaning.
In the HAARP ULF case, the "transmitter" or oscillatory is the whole
magnetosphere of the earth whose transmission characteristics are not
completely known. I have tried to explain this method of transmission as
being like rubbing your moist finger on the rim of a crystal wine glass
until the glass "rings." Or like blowing across the top of a bottle until
you hear the low frequency resonance tone. In this case, the mega-blast of
HAARP RF power is like a puff across the opening of the magnetic bottle
of the earth which will ring or resonate at the Schumann Resonance if the
edge of the polar Auroral Jet is "rubbed" or "puffed" just right. I have often called this "plucking the magnetic haarp." This explains why the HAARP
antenna array was designed to be adjusted electronically under computer
control up to 30 degrees in any direction from vertical to hit the Auroral
Jet right on the "sweet" spot. This also explains why in your recordings of
the anomalous signal, the power level seems to vary during the several
hour transmission as the antenna angle is "tweaked" for maximum magnetic
"signal" strength.
I would add, the 0.9 Hz signal would seem to be the base beat frequency
of the two HAARP pulse generators as they beat together sweeping
upward through the Schumann Frequency, which changes from day to day. Thus on any given day you would probably note the primary base component of the
HAARP signal, using FFT, to be around 0.9 to 1.0 Hz.
There is much more I could add, but I would rather try to keep this
email short rather than bore you with more than you want to know. I would
be willing to send you copies of my audio recording of HAARP in a .wav file
format and copies of my FFT analysis of your audio signal recording along
with my analysis of the HAARP signals. I also have much more information
about HAARP, submarines, propagation, the magnetic field and the method used by HAARP to create ULF magnetic signals in the thin plasma of the Aurora Polar Jet.
In 1976 I built my first homebrew computer using a Motorola 6800 mpu. I
have been a radio ham since 1959. In 1978 I presented a thesis at the
University of Santa Clara on demonstrating the use of my home-made
computer for long term logging and analysis of multiple geo-magnetic and
geo-electric signals. At the time, I was concerned about comparing
geo-electromagnetic data and human behavior. My hands-on skills meant I was quickly snapped up into government service on numerous DOE, military and NASA projects centered around designing small microprocessor controlled data-acquisition and control systems for the Space Shuttle, the Trident D5 and Titan IV systems, along with several commercial ventures.
My interests have long been to find correlations between measurable
earth signals and human behavior. I soon found correlations between these
signals and earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, etc, the motions of the moon
and positions of the planets. I find the many projects I read about on the
ELFrad website to be most fascinating. I almost want to start again
designing and building ULF receivers and magnetometers and plug 'em
into my 'puter.
Since I am quite busy with many other current projects, I am writing to
let you know how disturbed I am to find that the area of ULF research has,
in the last several years, become extremely swamped with huge signals like
HAARP. These behemoth military and commercial signals, almost destroy
any meaningful research based on long-term recording of ULF/ELF signals and
then making comparisons with earth events. There is not a lot of bandwidth in the ULF range and it seems the Navy wants to "hog it all."

PS: For months, whenever I read your web page about the anomalous
signal, I had to laff like hell and nearly fall outta my chair. Of course, I was not laffing at you. But you mention the anomalous signal strangely does not appear on Saturdays and Sundays. Of course not. Our good boys in the
Navy may work 24 hours a day, 7 days a week while on boat duty in a Trident.
But those Alaska HAARP operators from academe, who probably have no
knowledge of the Navy/ULF operation piggy-backing on their research projects, well, they are just civilians like you and me. They don't swab decks, wash windows or work weekends!!
PPS: I would like to find out more about the members of the ELFrad Group and the projects you are working on.
