RACE WITH THE RUSSIANS

"Similar, though less capable, research facilities exist today at many
locations throughout the world and are operated routinely for the purpose of
scientific investigation of the ionosphere...None of these existing systems, however,
have the combination of frequency capability and beam steering agility required to
perform the experiments planned for HAARP. "215
The program handlers continued to talk to the public as if this ionospheric
heater were really no different than any others around the world. Yet, while promoting
the project and in internal communications, they couldn't resist talking about
HAARP as the biggest "heater" in the world - more powerful than anything in
existence. This technology is more than just the level of effective-radiated-power, or
frequency/wave-form variability, or steering capability. The biggest factor is that in
combination with these abilities, the device focuses power in a way which
yields many, many times more delivered power to the ionosphere
than anything on Earth resembling this device.

This device is a jump ahead in technology, beyond anything else. It is a
leap like comparing a squirt gun to an artillery piece, and the effects are, to a great
extent, unknown once the energy is released beyond certain thresholds. Yet, in
answer to Congressional inquiries, citizen complaints and interagency requests for
information, project manager Heckscher, continuously denies that the system is any
different from what he and other previously said was already operating. He delivers
this information in the form of sophisticated word games, The government craft of
bureaucratese reaches new highs with the HAARP promoters.

In a 1990216 meeting that Heckscher attended, the record stated that "To
date, (only) the Soviet Union has built such a powerful HF (high-frequency) heater.
The highest ERPs (Effective Radiated Power) achieved by U.S. facilities is about one
fourth of that. Presently, a heater in Norway, operated by the Max Planck Institute in
the Federal Republic of Germany, is being reconfigured to provide 1 gigawatt of ERP
at a single HF frequency. The HAARP is to ultimately have an HF heater with an ERP
well above 1 gigawatt (on the order of 95-100 dbW); in short, the most powerful
facility in the world..."217

Was the race with the Soviets part of the picture and the justification for
spending the money? The Russians had been at the game a good deal longer and had a
greater understanding of ionospheric heaters. Again, the emphasis on output size
alone is not enough to describe the technology. It is the combination of size, focused
power beaming, beam maneuverability, waveform generation and frequency -among a
number of other unique capabilities - which make this system so powerful.
