The issue of power has always been a bit on the confusing side to those
trying to decipher exactly what this device would generate in output power through
the antenna array and what it would take in input power to get there. This issue was
finally cleared up in a letter by John Heckscher where he said, "There is a difference
between 'total radiated power' and 'effective radiated power'. That difference is
antenna gain, which in HAARP's case is a factor of nearly 1000 (at 10 MHz)."2l8
What was also new about this Eastlund invention is that it could focus the huge power
levels onto a single point in the ionosphere. For the first time, the western military
establishment could begin to use the new weapon capabilities.

The Soviets had been playing with their ELF and VLF toys for two decades
by the time the HAARP transmitter was built. They had been testing their ideas and
theories for use of radiofrequency in new weapon systems during those years. The
Soviet radio frequency transmitters had been the source of much controversy
throughout the West. Some in the United States and Canada had blamed such things as
weather manipulation, mind control, radio interference and other unexplainable
atmospheric events219 on the Soviet transmitters which created what became known
as the "woodpecker" signal220.

The sales pitch for HAARP funding fell to the academics at the University of
Alaska Fairbanks Geophysical Institute, and they had a friend in the powerful Senator
from Alaska, Ted Stevens. It is doubtful that Stevens had been fully informed by these
professors; the record indicates that he may have been duped into being their voice in
the halls of Congress. Senator Stevens was quoted in a news article as he defended the
funding of the HAARP program, It appears from the report that the Senator may have
been left with incomplete information by the project promoters.

Harness the Aurora?

In mid-1990 Senator Stevens defended his project in a committee meeting
when he said, "1 could tell you about the time when the University of Alaska came to
me and said it might be possible to bring the aurora to Earth. We might be able to
harness the energy in the aurora...". He went on to say, "No one in the Department of
Defense, no one in the Department of Energy, no one in the executive branch was
interested in pursuing it at alt. Why? Because it did not come from the good old boy
network. So I did just what you say I should do. I got Congress to ear-mark the
money, and the experiment is going on now. It will cost $10 million to $20 million.
If it is successful, it will change the history of the world." The actual direct costs of
the first phase of HAARP was about $25 million with the second phase estimated at
$150 million. This does not include the numerous other projects related to, or
complimenting, the HAARP program.
