JP 2025 - Jindalee Operational Radar Network (JORN)
The JORN project arose out of extensive research undertaken by the Defence Science and Technology Organisation (DSTO) into over-the horizon radar (OTHR) beginning in the early 1970s. As part of the 1987 Defence White Paper, the Government placed a high priority on wide area surveillance of the north and north western approaches to Australia and OTHR was seen to be the most cost effective solution. As a consequence, in December 1990, the Government approved the design and construction of JORN.
The Jindalee Operational Radar Network (JORN) consists of two OTHR, one near Longreach, Qld. and the other near Laverton, WA, jointly operated from the JORN Coordination Centre (JCC) at RAAF Base Edinburgh, SA by No 1 Radar Surveillance Unit. The radars are an advanced development of the Australian designed Jindalee radar at Alice Receiver Site, Laverton WA - click on image to enlargeSprings which is in operational use as well as being a research and development facility used by DSTO for ongoing OTHR improvement. JORN radars are capable of all weather detection of air and surface targets inside an arc of up to 3,000 km range extending from Geraldton in the west around to Cairns in the east. JORN makes a crucial contribution to broad area surveillance of Australia's strategically important northern approaches.

AFAIK, that is an electrical substation. I used to live about a kilometer from there and could hear the diesel generators start up when the wind is blowing the right direction.
But that's what they'd want me to think, isn't it ?!

Oh ok, ive always been told by people around town that Its HAARP...havnt you heared the stories about the rainbows when the floods hit a while back?
If it is a electrical substation, it must be privately owned and maintained, my father in law who works for ergon says hes never been there.

not sure if anyone has posted this but this message is now appearing on the bom radar:
If you notice any circular patterns or straight lines originating from the centre of the radar location, this is due to occasional interference to the radar data. The Bureau is currently investigating ways to reduce these interferences.

Me again, Im in newcastle and the wind has picked it started pouring rain.
But now rain has slowed, no..... wait, it has now stopped Again, and now there is beuatiful blue sky looking out the rear window, rain still falling out the front looking east toward the coast.
I lived here all my life and been through floods, hail storms, and i have seen some really bad weather around here, and whats happening with the weather now just seems like a normal rainy day on the east coast of Oz.
I just collected some rain water. And since im a Meathed , I tried a mouth full and it did tasted a little bit wierd.
I think i might just be imaging it though. Nope not imaging it, it does taste a lit wierd.
I know rain water shouldnt taste like tap water, it had a kind of metalic taste though.
I will taste some more samples when i get them to see if they vary in taste.
Ive taken a few samples and am going freeze them. And if i get time in the foreseeable future i will try to get them looked at.
But in the mean time it will have to be the taste test. So if i die because of sampling this nectar from the heavens, remember Meathed and how he died for ATS and Knowledge.
