I was hoping that people would have read the full article linked, but it seems my hopes were not met:
The United States Navy utilized extremely low frequencies (ELFs) as radio band and radio communications.
The USN uses ELF as radio band communications.
IF anyone had bothered to read more, then they would have learned that ELF is involved in submarine communications. Water is quite the barrier to normal RF in higher frequencies.
Oh...and piggy-backing on HF? I don't even know where to begin withthat one!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Speaking of HF, that is really what HAARP is about. Why won't people read the truth, instead of believing in pseudo-science claptrap?

ALSO, from the same source ATS member Donny 4 million provided (Wiki):
Exposure
In electromagnetic therapy and electromagnetic radiation and health research, electromagnetic spectrum frequencies between 0 and 100 hertz are considered extremely-low-frequency fields.
The section from that entire Wiki article is quick-linked here.
Now, I still think you are wrong, and Phage is correct.

A vast area of Chile, including the capital city of Santiago, was plunged into darkness Sunday by a massive blackout, the National Emergency Office said. The area affected covered a 1243 miles stretch affecting about 80 per cent of Chile's population of 17 million people, officials told AFP. The blackout was caused by problems with a 500KW transformer - a device that transfers electrical energy from one circuit to another - Chile's Interior Minister Rodrigo Hinzpeter said, according to Reuters. The electricity problems were not believed to be directly related to the massive earthquake that struck on February 27, the minister said, but there would be an investigation to confirm this.

HAARP does not transmit ELF frequencies but it is conducting research into the use of HF ionospheric heaters to produce ELF radiation in the ionosphere itself. One reason for research into this is precisely in order to avoid the use of large, ground based installations such as the one you protested against.
The level of ELF radiation produced by HAARP is extremely low, much lower than that which is produced naturally. It is also produced more than 100 miles above Gakona. Any ELF radiation reaching the surface is of much lower intensity than the ELF radiation produced by household appliances and wiring.

The military's own Executive Summary of the HAARP program clearly states their reliance on ELF waves. Instead of transmitting these waves from ground based transmitters, HAARP created these waves through the use of "pulse" transmissions of their HF energy beams. Or, to put it another way, HAARP duplicated the ELF signals by turning their signal on and off at rates (30 to 3000 cycles per second) within the ELF range. The result was that ELF radiation could be directed to a specific area on the surface of the planet, at will.

No, the OP is full of baseless conjecture. HAARP is very safe, as it can only affect the Earth a tiny, insignificant amount when compared to the Sun, which does what HAARP does, but 24/7, with infinitely greater power, across half of the world.
It's not fire. It's not dangerous. You are getting scared by internet hearsay.
No.
The "ground" applications describes using HAARP to make a part of the ionosphere reflective to radio waves capable of penetrating the ground ("ground-penetrating RADAR"). RADAR sets then bounce their EM radiation off that patch and on to the ground in a desired location. The amount of energy in the RADAR is miniscule, and as capable of causing earthquakes as earthworms.
Tesla and Westinghouse have nothing to do with it. All it does is simply heat part of the ionosphere, changing its ability to reflect and bounce electromagnetic radiation around.

I think you mean you are delusional. The scientific data on haarp is for the most part out there if you actually take the time and do the research. I mean current and archived.
Nothing worse then people spouting off idiocy when they don't do basic research.
Patents and opinion are not facts.

My god.....it sounds like someone on this website understands science....
well done Dave.

When considering HAARP let's consider Project ELF a forerunner, shut down in part due to the documented health risks:

Yeah I got arrested protested Project ELF -- no regrets.

Yes, we know. The design of the antennae in the heater is public knowledge, and the amount of power it consumes is also public knowledge. The physics is basic, and well understood. It's only a mystery to those ignorant of science. That video, featuring the inventor's son (even though Eastlund wasn't the inventor, but anyway) doesn't count for squat. Eastlund never even worked at HAARP, but don't let that stop the crazed theories flying around.
