HAARP facility to quadruple power
Technical Specialist Richard Lampe, KL1DA, represented the League at the 2003 High Frequency Active Auroral Research Project (HAARP) RFI meeting September 24 at the HAARP site near Gakona, Alaska. "Joint funding through DARPA will allow HAARP to quadruple in size from its current 960 kW output to 3.6 MW," Lampe says. "When completed in 2006, HAARP will then be the premier ionospheric research facility with beam-steering capabilities that other similar arrays worldwide don't have." Under terms of its experimental license, HAARP must transmit on a non-interference basis, and Lampe--who is ARRL liaison to HAARP--says the staff at the control center immediately shut down the transmitters when harmonics were detected on 75/80 meters during experiments last year. "Alaska hams monitor the bands and aid HAARP engineers by reporting RFI issues as soon as they happen," Lampe said.

Finally, a post where jokes about foil hats are relevent to the article!
Anyways, I need to get mine upgraded, it's only rated to prevent HAARP transmissions up to 1 megawatt.

Now we'll be able to see 4X deeper underground!

Bah, this just means I'll have to wear four nested layers of hats for additional capacitance:

This can mean only one thing. The Beta Reticuloids have begun their assault.

ATTENTION ALL FREEPERS: COUNTER MEASURES SHOULD INCLUDE GOING WITH TRIPLE-LAYER FOIL WHEN CONSTRUCTING HEAD WEAR.

DANGER! DANGER! DANGER!
A good tin foil hat must include a grounding straps. There have been several injuries reported those who failed to head this basic safety warning. Large potential voltages can build up on the tin foil due to the radiated energy they absorb. A grounding strap will allow that potential to safely dissipate.
A friend of mine learned this the hard way. Evedently, he'd been wearing his hat for several hours and had accumulated several hundred volts of potential energy. This energy was discharged in an incredibly painful manner when he visited the men's room.

My brother has read all these books about HAARP. The day it was to go online he called in sick, and had a fire extinguisher at arm's length, just in case. This'll be fun to tell him.

Is a fire extinguisher really going to help when they accidently ignite the atmosphere and turn the Earth into a giant fireball?

Ah, you know now why I was so amused at his "preventive measures".
