HAARP is not a classified facility.

Research conducted at the HAARP Observatory is generally published in peer-reviewed scientific journals such as the Journal of Geophysical Research, Geophysical Research Letters, and Radio Science. Since the first research campaign at HAARP in 1999, well over 100 scholarly papers have been published in these and other scientific journals. While the best place to search for results of HAARP research is at a university library, some of these journals provide an on-line search engine for their own publications. For example, to search for HAARP research published in one of the journals of the American Geophysical Union, go to their on-line search site: AGU Search Enter the search term "HAARP" and press the search button.
The HAARP antenna array consists of 180 antennas on a total land area of about 35 acres. The array, along with its integrated transmitters, has a total radiated power capability of about 3,600 kilowatts.
The HF transmitter system is able to produce approximately 3.6 million Watts of radio frequency power. However, the HAARP transmitters have been designed to operate very linearly (in Class AB mode) so that they will not produce radio interference to other users of the radio spectrum. To achieve that degree of linearity, the transmitters operate at an efficiency of only about 45 %. For every 100 Watts of input power 45 Watts of Radio Frequency power is generated and the rest is lost in the transmitter cabinet as heat. (As an analogy, a 75 Watt light bulb gets quite hot while it's producing the light you actually see.) In addition, the on-site diesel generators must provide power for other equipment used by the transmitters including the cooling system and low level amplifier stages. As a result, approximately 10 million Watts of prime power will be required when the transmitter system is operating at full power.

BSometer just went real crazy there....
Seriously Kudi, HAARP does raise a lot of concerns, and there are a lot of valid concerns which have been raised already, unfortunatley there are also a lot of OTT theories plastered all over wacky documentries and yourtube vids, that are based on theory and speculation, as well as slightly more realistic concerns. I opened this thread hoping to find some more source material to learn from, but alas, it is very scarce!
The HAARP website gives a lot of relevant info on the project, but I'm guessing you've checked it out already, definately worth researching Tesla, this is where the research can get reeeeally interesting!
As for the guards with M16's...maybe they are concerned of crazed people approaching the compound convinced that 'HAARP is gonna kill us all and we need to stop it now....' Just a thought, it is a pretty damn pricey transmiter and all!

HAARP has a maximum output of about 3.6 MW. Sura, in Russia, can put out about 190 MW. EISCAT, in northern Europe, can produce about 1 GW. Just thought I'd throw that out there.
Also, if you're a ham, every so often you can chat with the director of HAARP. He may have some fun things t say about certain people's notions.
HAARP is a scientific endeavor aimed at studying the properties and behavior of the ionosphere, with particular emphasis on being able to understand and use it to enhance communications and surveillance systems for both civilian and defense purposes. The HAARP program is committed to developing a world class ionospheric research facility consisting of: The Ionospheric Research Instrument (IRI), a high power transmitter facility operating in the High Frequency (HF) range. The IRI will be used to temporarily excite a limited area of the ionosphere for scientific study. A sophisticated suite of scientific (or diagnostic) instruments that will be used to observe the physical processes that occur in the excited region. Observation of the processes resulting from the use of the IRI in a controlled manner will allow scientists to better understand processes that occur continuously under the natural stimulation of the sun. Scientific instruments installed at the HAARP Observatory will be useful for a variety of continuing research efforts which do not involve the use of the IRI but are strictly passive. Among these studies include ionospheric characterization using satellite beacons, telescopic observation of the fine structure in the aurora, and documentation of long-term variations in the ozone layer.

As I and others have stated before, HAARP is an expensive piece of equipment and it is a first and foremost a research station, not a tourist trap. They can't have people wandering in whenever they want and just walking around the grounds. Especially when there are conspiracy nuts out there that want to blow it up because they have no idea what it does.

Heres more info for you. HAARP can generate up to a BILLIION WATTS. do your research man.

Hey man, I have heard this as well, but only not from any creditable source, I was under the impression from thwe info I've found on HAARP (I'd link sources but I'm a noob, and I'm at work lol) that it was 3.6MW, as cmdrkeenkid said, where did you here of the billion watts? (not digging at 'cha, just curious, coz I can't remember where I heard it either!)

The research articles have to lay out exactly what they did and how they did it. This is so other research facilities can then replicate their findings. Therefore, HAARP is at least what it says it is, as the scientists there have been producing results and they have not been contested. If you want to believe that it's anything else you have to be ready to admit that it's based off of shoddy speculation that has no foundation in science. I could use the same logic and say that my mailman is actually a solar powered robot, he's just lying to me that he's actually a person. In the end it simply sounds like paranoid ramblings when you claim someone's lying without any actual facts to back up what you claim.

THE HYPE
Many websites talk about HAARP and state erroneous information and, based on that, take them to their illogical conclusion. Some common inaccurate information is:
1. Power of HAARP in Billions of Watts. Sites such as this claim that HAARP is capable of transmitting a billion watts and eventually will be able to transmit 4.7 billion wants. In fact, the transmission power of HAARP is limited to 3.6 million watts, of which only 80% (2.8 million watts) is actually transmitted into the ionosphere due to antenna inefficiencies. Sites like the one just cited misstate the power of HAARP by over 3 orders of magnitude--that is, they're off by more than a factor of 1000. So far I haven't seen any of these sites provide any factual basis for their claims.
