Listen out for HAARP WSPR 80m transmissions

Listen out for HAARP WSPR 80m transmissions
Chris Fallen KL3WX will be using 80 kilowatts into the massive HAARP antenna array in Alaska for WSPR experiments in the 80m band from July 30 to August 1



Chris KL3WX tweeted:

WSPR experiments are tentatively planned to occur between 2300 and 2400 hours UTC on July 30, 31, and Aug 1. Most broadcasts will be at the 80m dial frequency default in WSJT, that is 3.5926 MHz with AM (3 dB loss) because HAARP does not have an upper side band (USB) mode yet!

The experiment is now set up for both 80m and 40m (in turn). Details at https://twitter.com/ctfallen

 

Do I need an aerial?
Is it like a voice in one's head?
Should we take our tin-foil hats off?



I think I can hear it, yes that's WSPR ...

Doo-di-doo-doo , Doo-di-doo-doo, Doo-di-doo-doo ....

 

Here is a bit of a conundrum at the 11th hour for this experiment.

Chris KL3WX tweeted a few days ago and it is widely re-broadcast that :

"WSPR experiments are tentatively planned to occur between 2300 and 2400 hours UTC on July 30, 31, and Aug 1. Most broadcasts will be at the 80m dial frequency default in WSJT, that is 3.5926 MHz with AM (3 dB loss) ..."

However, from what I read, that is the OLD default 80m WSPR frequency, changed awhile back. The current default 80m WSPR freq in WSJT-X v1.9.1 is 3.5686 MHz.

I ass-u-me that Chris knows what frequency he is going to xmit upon - so that is where I will concentrate my listening and manually tune to that dial number. But I thought it worthwhile to alert others to NOT RELY on the WSJT default list currently shipped in the software.

The published 40m frequency 7.0386 Mhz is still valid and is the default in WSJT-X v1.9.1.

I think they're trying to draw amateurs into their world of intrigues and utterly pointless, fringe-dwelling, whack, .... decidedly Twilight Zone project.
From Chris' coming Pre-'Hacker' Conference Blurb:

https://xii.hope.net/schedule.html
"Peer-reviewed journal papers postulate that scientists use the HAARP transmitter to conduct ionosphere radio modification experiments including enhanced airglow (i.e., "fake aurora"), artificial magnetic field-aligned irregularities, stimulated electromagnetic emissions, plasma wave instabilities resulting from electromagnetic pump wave decay, cross modulation effects, and ELF/VLF radio wave generation. This talk will explore recent experiments, including the first modern recreation of the Luxembourg effect which featured DTMF tones and musical compositions written to take advantage of cross modulation, the first crowd-funded HAARP experiment, and the first SSTV image broadcast simultaneously with transmissions that also created fake aurora. Additionally, the HAARP facility and the software that runs the main HF transmitter will be discussed, as will small elements of truth to some of the conspiracy theories."

Officially, I don't use Twitter or 'social-media' since 75-days now, so I'll drop this subject.
I strictly believe in letting the world reap what it sows. Ain't got now't to do with me Bro'.

GM4BRB. The meaning and implications of your post is garbled and undecipherable because of your failure to properly reference the sources of your quotations and separate any personal comments (if any).

Will you please clarify what you have posted? b.

 

80 KW on 80 meters!?!
Sounds too good to be true. Hi hi.

Bob,

WOW....sounds good hear ...solid.......!!!!!

If 3.568600 MHz is the new frequency then a lot of stations haven't gotten the message! So far this evening I have heard several Brazilian, German, Spanish and GB stations plus a hand full of US stations on 3.592.600! I wonder if the new frequency is a mistake?

Clarify? I'm pretty sure his friends, the Little Grey Dudes, Mothman, and Bigfoot won't let him.

 

Hopefully the HARP experiment went off without too much harmful QRM

 

I thought they were tearing HAARP down because the environmentalists said it was driving the polar bears and whales crazy?

"Thanks to @ nk7z for pointing out I was using the old 80m WSPR frequency (was landing on an old http://wspr.net page). That could explain null results at that band the last couple days. The 80m WSPR will be at 3.5686 MHz, the WSJT-X default."

"The 9.5 MHz will end early at 2358 UT then we will take a quick 12 minute rest. WSPR will begin at 0010+ UT according to previous tweeted schedule."

80kw, input or output? ERP? Licensed amateur transmitting 80kw on a designated amateur frequency, that must be the unobtainable Super Extra Class license. Yes, I suspect the tinfoil hat may need to remain in place to protect what ever may be under it from rf burn. Do forgive me, I'm suffering from one of those moments one just can't resist.
