If you want to visit Oak Ridge National Laboratories (a Manhattan Project-era facility with exponentially greater funding but also a heavy focus on top-secret nuclear technology) you can show up to the visitor center for a public tour or schedule something more in-depth without much hassle. You can do the same at Los Alamos -- another bastion of the Manhattan Project -- in New Mexico. At both of those facilities, journalists can access unclassified research and talk directly to researchers and scientists.
None of that is possible at HAARP, though never expressly stated, probably in part because of the tinfoil-hatters that might storm Gakona if allowed visits of any kind.

A maser is a transmission of coherent microwaves. The atmosphere scatters and absorbs microwaves a lot more than it does the RF frequencies that are used for these experiments.

But they weren't really all that secretive. There are hundreds (thousands by now?) of published articles about the work done with HAARP.
Now, Kirtland. You dont' see a lot of published work from Kirtland.

Ask the Air Force what they're doing in Gakona these days and a spokesman stationed in New Mexico will tell you to find out yourself during HAARP's open house. They usually hold those every couple years during the summer. Even though all the research is unclassified, the Air Force doesn't offer much else in the way of explaining what's going on, except to point out their noble interest in studying Earth's atmosphere to further scientific knowledge and maybe improve homeland security along the way.

There's this thing called the inverse square law. But they probably found a way around that.

Not many people are interested in "Artificial ducts caused by HF heating of the ionosphere by HAARP" but for over the horizon radar and communications such things could hold value.

Like I said, hundreds of published articles. Of no interest to the general public. Mind control is much more fun.
Jupiter is called a failed star because it is made of the same elements (hydrogen and helium) as is the Sun, but it is not massive enough to have the internal pressure and temperature necessary to cause hydrogen to fuse to helium, the energy source that powers the sun and most other stars.

Please show where I cited it.
On a theoretical level, the HAARP website notes that federal scientists are working to unlock the mysteries to other natural phenomena that have captivated humans for millennia. They're studying lightning, aurora borealis and the like. They've even learned how to induce both of those on a limited scale, according to a statement included on a Navy defense budget.
