[Boatanchors] AEA Moscow Muffler Woodpecker Blanker WB-1

[Gregory W. Moore]

Gentlemen es all other of us who hang out on the boatanchors list....

That sweeping signal from Alaska was (and is ) project HAARP.  If you 
follow the info about same, including a few well documented
programs on the Science and History channel ( I am including this to 
prove that the information is publicly available, not classified, and
one doesn't have to don a tinfoil beanie, nor hide from the MIB, etc to 
discuss the uses). I do believe that one will find that the use of
HAARP is far from benign.   First off, there has simply been too much 
money poured into said project, and the extensive construction of
the huge antenna arrays and transmitters go way beyond the private sector.

In the second place, the end result of the "tests" is to cause heating 
of the ionosphere, allegedly to cause shifting in radio propagation 
conditions, but given the fact that the beam is indeed, steerable, gives 
rise to the theory that there may well be a weaponized use of the site, 
especially in the field of WX modification in the High Arctic.  The idea 
has also been advanced that the  site was, as originally concieved, an 
ABM testbed, which, when the rest of the ABM sites were dismantled under 
treaty, simply "hidden in plain sight.

Yes, propagation research is indeed carried out at the site, and was 
documented in a well produced Science Channel program which was aired 
some months ago ( I wish I had recorded the darn thing on my DVR, 
because it hasn't been repeated, at least as far as I know, but the 
system's uses seem to be both myriad, and very useful against the "bad 
dudes" who would threaten us.  It also manages to consume a great deal 
of the North Slope Natural Gas for their generation facilities, which 
otherwise would have to be wasted and simply burned off via flame 
stacks, so it is providing a useful and profitable customer for the 
owners of the oil fields.   Yes, HAARP is OTHR, but it is a great many 
other things as well, if one can believe the programming, which, of 
course, probably leaves much left out at the polite request of the 
"censors"........

I was, frankly, quite amazed at the Wullenwerber Antenna (Sterba 
Curtain) which no attempt was made to conceal, and to be quite honest, 
when one sees an antenna farm like that, it makes an old Mil RM then 
Communications Officer,  and an old Ham drool with envy ;-)......  As I 
said, nothing I have written is classified, nor gleaned from anywhere 
but public sources like the Science Channel, but the equipment was 
impressive, to say the least.   Being a good little former RM, who is 
still bound by a rather high security   clearance, ( The one known among 
the possessors as "Higher than God" --hi--)  I don't want to speculate, 
nor make statements other than those obtained from public, readily 
available sources ( Incarceration would put a real damper on my BA 
collecting and restoring activity --hi--)  Anyhow, if you get a chance, 
and the Science or History channel run that show again, it is worth the 
2 hours to record it, because besides the fantastic antenna arrays, 
there are a lot of shots of some fine BA's still in use.  I had to fight 
the XYL off to watch the show for the time it was on, but darn it, it 
was the best 2 hrs I spent in a long time. I just wish I had recorded 
the show, but I totally forgot, being caught up in the material they 
were showing......

That's my .02 and IMHO, your mileage may vary, always drive on roads, 
not on people, void where prohibited.....
