ionosphere-altering schemes, Begich looked up APT1 in the Dun & Bradstreet
directory of corporations42 and learned that APTI had a president in Los Angeles and
a staff of 25 employees in Washington DC, with sales of only $5 million a year,

How did a small subsidiary get the military contract for such a large project?
According to the record, it won the right to build the project through exemptions in
the military procurement process. The HAARP contract with APTI was more than five
times larger than APTIs annual sales. As Begich saw it, the only way a
virtually-unknown company in the military contracting arena could get such a
contract is if they had proprietary information needed by the project. The trail circled
back to the Eastlund patents,
Begich quoted the May-June 1994 issue of Microwave News, in which
Eastlund described a "full, global shield" of accelerated electrons created with radio
frequency (RF) transmitters. The HAARP project "obviously looks like a first step
inwards this", Eastlund told the editor. However, he noted that the uses he described
would need a significantly more powerful device with a much larger antenna than the
HAARP array.

While the Eastlund controversy continued, Begich wrote that a February
1990 paper from the Navy and Air FoTce43 made it clear that the project goal is to
learn how to manipulate the ionosphere on a more grand scale than the then Soviet
Union could do with its similar facilities. HAARP would be the largest ionospheric
heater in the world, located in a latitude most conducive to putting Eastlund's
invention into practice. Looking at the northern lights, as the aurora is called in
Alaska, was not the point of HAARP. Begich quoted from the U.S. Air Force "Record
of Decision, High-frequency Active Auroral Research Program (HAARP), Final
Environmental Impact Statement" of October 18, 1993:

"The data obtained from the proposed research would be used to analyze
basic ionospheric properties and to assess the potential for developing ionospheric
enhancement technology for communications and surveillance systems... Apotential
DoD (Dept. of Defense) application of the research is to provide communications to
submerged submarines. These and many other research applications are expected to
greatly enhance present DoD technology."

"The Air Force and Navy proposes to build and operate the most versatile and
capable ionospheric research facility in the world. The government intends to utilize
the unused Over-the-Horizon Backscatter (radar) site near Gakona, Alaska, for this
program... Research requirements stipulated that the selected site must fall in the
range of latitudes between 61 and 65 degrees, either north or south. Siting constraints
included that the site must be: on US soil, on DoD land to the maximum extent
practical..."
The response to the Nexus article showed that more people were interested
in HAARP than the Alaskan researchers had originally expected, Begich noticed that
