The HAARP was heard at Bellflower, CA. with a TS-520 and a SLV.
My freq. showed 6.900, so I would appreciate If some of you guys could
confirm the 6.999. I spent 10 mins. adjusting my dial, I guess for
naught.
First transmission was about an S-6, with mild QRN, some signal fading.
Heard some SSB prior to, during, and after the test.
The second run was interesting. While they were tuning up, the signal
got so loud a couple of times that I had to yank off the headset. It
hurt. When they started the run, I swear something began to interfere
with the tranmission. Sounded like you drove under a 240KV power line,
good shots of RF. Sporadic and distinct. I think second test was
weaker compared to the first one, with major fading. I had a harder time
copying the second message, but I did get it. Heard all sorts of SSB
during this test. Overall a S-6 with major QSB, QRN(3) and QRM(3).
I wasn't going to mention the QRM, but I think Chuck heard the same
thing I did. I'd be interested if anyone else agrees. No black
helicopter theory from me, I'm just curious.
