HAARP is one of those "conspiracies" that hide in plain sight. Sometimes, just sometimes, something is just what it says. This is one of those
times, in my opinion, but I also know a few things.
In this age of internet, cell phones, and satellite communication, why would we need to study propagation? Why would the DoD and US Navy undertake
this mission and not just some other agency, university, or even a company. These are good questions posed by others. Well, actually, all these have
and do work together on the study of propagation.
Let’s start with the very basic form of communication; a message from point A to point B. This message is important and needs to be delivered. We
can use the internet in its various modes i.e. e-mail, instant message, video conference, web based message, even chat rooms. We could use a cell
phone or a land line and call to talk to the message receiver; we could even fax the message via telephone line. We could use a satellite uplink for
message delivery over a large foot print.
We could even use a radio and depending on the range of miles, determines what frequency we would transmit on. Under 50 miles, you could use UHF and
VHF. From 100 to a few hundred miles, you use what's called the six meter band, which is upper end of VHF. Over 500 miles you use "High
Frequency".
The message has been transmitted, but now we don't want anyone to listen to the message so it has to be encrypted by some means to hide it's
meaning. There are any numbers of ways to do this from very simple to extraordinary complex. We will get back to this...
Now, we have a message and the means to transmit from point A to point B. This works great just about all the time.
The Navy has a special interest in communications for the reason that it has ships all over the world that has the need of communication. For the most
part, this is secure communication. Limited internet is available from satellite, cell phone is just about useless, and rough seas make satellite
communications much more difficult. This leaves radio for communications. The Navy has great communication facilities throughout the world just for
the purpose to keep ships in contact.
We have laid some very basic ground work on communications.
Let's get back to encrypting. The days of simple codes are just about over. The one time pad using Morse code is very secure but very limited in what
it can broadcast. More advanced machine type coding i.e. enigma from WW2 has some usage, but computers have opened that coding scheme. Computer based
technology using modems and radios have advanced but these have the capability of being intercepted (as all radio communication does) and the
encryption broke with the message read. A signal with multiple modulation schemes and computer technology for encryption is fairly complex and hard to
break the code. This is what modern military communication has evolved into. Secure digital communications, with complex signal structure. VHF-UHF
even uses frequency hopping so a simple scanner has no possible way to overhear the message.
A VHF-UHF radio has no problems broadcasting digital forms of communication from site to site as the range is somewhat limited and atmospheric
conditions doesn't really effect the radio wave as it is line of sight or slightly bent from transmitter to receiver.
HF is different. It bounce the radio wave from ionosphere to ground and back until the receiver is able to hear the transmission. It is possible to be
in an area that the radio wave bounces over the receiver, so the message is never heard. This bouncing of signal has detrimental effects on digital
broadcasting.
Finally, we are at HARRP....
HAARP is used to study propagation. They broadcast complex high frequency radio signals with the attempt to understand how the atmosphere and
ionosphere affects the signal being transmitted.
There are times when HAARP uses moon bounce to broadcast signals. You can hear an echo if you listen to this signal as the ground wave will arrive
about 3 seconds ahead of the bounced signal. HAARP also will direct their signal to specific areas, at times, not to “death ray” something, but to
directly check the signal integrity from what is being broadcast. These can be somewhat complex signals using what is called Quadrature Amplitude
Modulation (QAM).
Now, think outside the box a little bit. What would be the reason why radio communications would be the only means being left to issue commands and
messages to armed forces? Anyone....
