HAARP Thanks Amateur Radio Operators for Help with Latest Experiment

   01/13/2023

   On Tuesday, December 27, 2022, the High-frequency Active Auroral
   Research Program (HAARP) conducted its latest ionospheric experiment of
   bouncing radio signals off an asteroid passing near Earth's orbit (see
   the [17]ARRL News story from December 23, 2022).

   Auroral Research Program site in Gakona, Alaska, on December 20, 2022.

   Amateur radio operators and radio astronomy enthusiasts were invited to
   monitor the test and send their results to HAARP for analysis. While
   the results of the experiment will take several weeks, Jessica
   Matthews, HAARP Program Manager, said the help was greatly appreciated.
   "So far we have received over 300 reception reports from the amateur
   radio and radio astronomy communities from six continents who confirmed
   the HAARP transmission."
   HAARP officials say the results of the experiment could aid efforts to
   defend Earth from larger asteroids that could cause significant damage.
   "We will be analyzing the data over the next few weeks and hope to
   publish the results in the coming months," said Mark Haynes, lead
   investigator on the project and a radar systems engineer at NASA's Jet
   Propulsion Laboratory in California. "This experiment was the first
   time an asteroid observation was attempted at such low frequencies," he
   said. "This shows the value of HAARP as a potential future research
   tool for the study of near-Earth objects."
   The University of Alaska Fairbanks (UAF) operates [18]HAARP under an
   agreement with the Air Force, which developed and owned HAARP but
   transferred the research instruments to UAF in August 2015.
