Wally that for environmental reasons Clare wanted to see the site shut down. Ed
agreed and added that as a ham operator he had concerns about whether the high power
RF beaming would interfere with life-and-death situations in the bush.

"Ed prodded me into doing computer searches on the Internet - go into the
Library of Congress and different databases. As soon as I started looking stuff up, that
was all she wrote. Eventually some of us formed a network."

Some of the people were concerned about possible military applications of
a technology that could knock out the Internet or blackout the power grid. More close
at hand, they figured, what goes up must come down, especially if the radiations
bounce off the ionosphere. Wally worried when he heard talk of the HAARP
technicians planning to install filters on the radio and satellite receiving dishes in
and around every home in the vicinity. The filters would screen out incoming radio
wave interference, he was told. He got together with an electronics whiz who lived on
an even more remote homestead, to study the proposal for high power beaming.
Concerned about their families' health, they came to a conclusion. "It's not
innocuous."
Nor was the proposed violation of Earth's atmospheric electrical system, he
said. "You read about a tremendous heated plume rising, and raising part of the upper
atmosphere with it, and that it could change weather conditions and that the actual
effects can be intensified. Then (HAARP spokesmen) come back and say 'don't
worry'."

He did worry - about his family on the ground receiving reflected radiation,
and then about swans, ducks, geese and other frequent flyers that could be fried in the
intense radio frequency beam above the project site. The ionospheric heater, as the
HAARP antennae were called, would beam upward in a prime corridor for migrating
waterfowl.

Another of the guys in the bush worried that migrating salmon might lose
their way, as they use the geomagnetic field as part of their road map for returning to
spawning grounds. The magnetically- sensitive material magnetite had been found in
salmon, as it had in human brains. Therefore changes in the magnetic field would be
confusing, he said. A powerful ionospheric heater such as HAARP could create an
artificial electromagnetic storm high above the earth.

"All we have is John Heckscher's comments that there'll be no more
magnetic disturbances than what occurs naturally," Wally said skeptically.

The bush dwellers and their science advisors, on the other hand, contended
that even naturally occurring disturbances, caused by solar storms, do disrupt living
systems. A psychologist at the University of Alaska did a study trying to connect
Alaska's high rate of suicides to disturbances from geomagnetic storms generated by
the aurora borealis.68 And scientific articles about the sensitivities of living cells
and nervous systems said it doesn't take strong magnetic fields to make a difference;
