transmitter. They hadn't heard, but wanted to learn about the biggest "ionospheric
heater" in the world. They learned that similar antennae in other countries had beamed
electromagnetic power into high level experiments for years, but HAARP would be
the most powerful, zapping the upper atmosphere with an unprecedented power level
of energetic particles. Engineering Mother Nature - the planetary environment -
would become a new ball game.

Some hams lived in areas where HAARP public relations people were
holding public briefings, and these operators reported back on the air. The Pentagon
had been shopping for a site, because HAARP's radio interference would be too strong
to locate near military facilities.

"Then why do they think we want it in our own backyards?" asked some
individuals whose communities were considered as possible sites. When the choice
was made to build it near Gakona, a hamlet about 140 miles north of Prince William
Sound, some of the on the air chatter died down.

While he still had time to sit in front of the two-story fireplace for a
leisurely read, Clare had finished a book titled Miles from Nowhere. It was about
people living in "the lower 48" states, in places where there were fewer than two
people per square mile. The military had of course chosen such areas to do its
hazardous testing such as nuclear blasts.
"Gakona reminds me of that Miles, from Nowhere theme," he told Barbara.
"Few people around to complain."

Although he sympathized with bush dwellers concerned about how close
they were to electromagnetic radiations from HAARP, his main question was more
global. "What all is this thing going to do to the upper atmosphere?"
HAARP's public relations sheet described it as pure scientific research on
the aurora borealis and research on the ionosphere's ability to affect communications.
The U.S. Air Force and Navy were paying for the project, but they said it was not a
weapons system. Later, Clare Zickuhr would learn that the technology definitely
could be used for military purposes. He wondered what else they weren't telling the
taxpayers about HAARP.

His training as an accountant led him to ask about the checks and balances
in the situation. HAARP planners would choreograph experiments on the crucial
envelope of charged particles which circled the planet - the ionosphere, which
protects Earth's inhabitants, like a spherical umbrella, from cosmic radiations. What
independent scientists - not in any way funded by the military - were monitoring this
project? He could find none. Especially missing were biologists and independent
atmospheric physicists, if there are any such independents.

"Basically," he concluded, "the military is going to give the ionosphere a
big kick and see what happens. My biggest worry is what they're going to do by
