On Monday, February 19th, this event was featured on the Art Bell, Coast to Coast program and he invited the numerous radio amateurs and short wave listeners in his audience to listen to the mysterious radio signal on 3.39 MHz and then report their results. The source location of the mystery radio station could be determined by reviewing the large number of daytime signal strength reports.

According to Bell, the Navy, the Air Force and several other officials connected with HAARP denied they were the source of the signal. As stated in my previous article, I fully expected this would be the official response.

The next day, Bell announced the results seemed to indicate the signal reports were strongest in the northwestern US and Hawaii with weaker signals reported throughout the rest of the US. Does this match the results expected if the HAARP transmitter is the source of the mysterious powerful 3.39 MHz signal?

I had published an earlier article about the HAARP facility in July 2000. Several HAARP officials were asked to comment on the article. Eventhough, the article included a daily log of the HAARP transmissions which matched the dates of their summer research program schedule, the official response then was, “It wasn’t us. We haven’t been in operation since October 1999.” I expect the response to this article about the tremendous signal strength increase will be something along the line of “It wasn’t us. We don’t exist. And if we did exist, we won’t do it again.” Official denials, can often be delightfully humorous.

Daytime radio signals are not reflected from the radio-mirror of the smooth ionospheric F-Layer which only appears at night. During the daytime the radiation of the sunlight disrupts the F-layer and the radio signals can only be broadcast by conduction along the surface of the earth. For daytime surface conduction, the smooth salty ocean is a much better conductor than the rough mountains and valleys and variety of soils over the continents. Even though Hawaii is twice as far from the HAARP transmitter compared to receivers in the northwestern states, Hawaiian listeners would receive comparably strong signals.

Using only daytime surface conduction of the radio waves, the signal strength is reduced as the square of the distance from the transmitter. Thus the numerous signal observations, as reported by Bell's listeners, are completely consistent with the HAARP transmitter as the source of the mysterious 3.39 MHz signal.

Is it possible to further confirm HAARP is the source? Can the actual increased output power of the HAARP transmitter be measured? It turns out the answer is yes. Modern communication receivers all have a signal strength or S meter, but this only indicates relative signal strength. Also the S meter reading is affected by the angle of the receiver antenna along with the settings of the receiver “front end” so in general, the S meter cannot be used to measure the absolute output power of a distant transmitter. But there is a technique which can be used to accurately measure distant transmitter power using only the S meter.

By aiming the antenna at the distant source, in this case the HAARP transmitter, the S meter reading is noted. Then without moving the antenna or any “front end” settings, a local commercial radio station with a known distance and power output, is found which has the same S meter reading. Then using the 1 over R squared relationship of the signal loss with distance, the absolute power of the distant transmitter can be accurately measured.

I performed this measurement numerous times during the 3 and a half days, about 84 hours, HAARP was running at the increased power levels. I found a local San Francisco broadcast station which was almost exactly in the same direction as HAARP. The signal from the broadcaster shown on the S meter was exactly the same as the powerful peak of the half second heating pulse at the start of the 6.5 second HAARP pulse. The distance to the station was 36 miles NNW of my location. The station’s licensed effective daytime radiated power is 5,000 watts. The distance to HAARP is 2,100 miles from my location and also in a NNW direction.

The ratio of the two distances is 58.3, which when squared produces 3,403 and when multiplied by the 5,000 watts of the local transmitter gives a power of 17 Megawatts coming from Alaska. But, only about 10 percent of the HAARP power leaks off the side of the beam and is conducted along the ground. About 90 percent of the HAARP power is aimed upward toward the ionosphere. Thus the received ground conduction power should be multiplied by 10. Using this technique the total effective output power from HAARP is now approximately 170 MW. Is this consistent with the published power output?

The HAARP transmitter facility was designed to be built in a modular fashion with additional transmitters and their associated beam antennas simply being added on in rows and columns in a large array of antennas to increase the total output power in various stages. Since about 1999 HAARP has been operating in the FDP mode using an array of 48 antennas with an effective power output of about 21.5 MW.

The next stage of development is to be an array in the LIRI mode with 110 antennas and an effective power output of 169 MW. The final stage of construction is the FIRI mode with an array of 180 antennas and a total power output of 462 MW. The dates of the new construction and the power increases have not been announced.

Based on my measurement of the power increase after Saturday Feb 17, 2001, as a total effective radiated power of 170 MW, this is completely consistent with the next level of HAARP construction in the LIRI mode with a design output power of 169 MW.

The new output power is nearly 8 times the old power output in the old FDP mode. This accounts for the greatly increased signal reception throughout the world even during the daytime. And after the construction is completed for the final FIRI mode with the power rising to 462 MW, the signal will probably be easily heard on such “receivers” as left lower fillings. This may account for the “Official HAARP” denial of “It wasn’t us. We don’t exist. And if we did exist, we won’t do it again.”

I want to thank Art Bell, his audience, and the many listerners who's radio reception reports assisted in the prepartion of this article. I also want to thank the many thosands of reader's of the previous article whose emails provided critical information.
