Nathaniel:

Is HAARP capable of the second harmonic of the gyro frequency (3.2 to 3.4 MHz - at least here in N. Colorado)?

 I'm using you as an entry into th HamSCI group as a starting point to join HamSCI. I plan to  check into the E-Mail convwesation net next week but wanted to get some info on purchasing the Grape 2 box I see on the wecsite and use it to become gamiliar with the PSWS station and the reporting of information back into HamSCI If you could have someone get me a quote for a fully assemnles Grape 2 box I would appreciate it.

Hi Charles,

 

We do not have Grape 2 boxes for sale, but we do have plans available for making a WSPRDaemon-Grape system. See here:

https://hamsci.org/wsprdaemon-grape-overview-specifications-sourcing

We have people that can help walk you through setting that up, too.

 

We will also eventually be deploying NSF-funded systems to a select number of volunteers who meet certain criteria. Right now, my hope is to get them shipped out by next summer. You can read more about this and sign up showing your interest in this at http://hamsci.org/site-search.

Hi Dave,

 

Yes, it is. From https://haarp.gi.alaska.edu/faq:

 

“The High-frequency Active Auroral Research Program (HAARP) is the world’s most capable high-power, high frequency (HF) transmitter for study of the ionosphere. The principal instrument is the Ionospheric Research Instrument (IRI), a phased array of 180 HF crossed-dipole antennas spread across 33 acres and capable of radiating 3.6 megawatts into the upper atmosphere and ionosphere. Transmit frequencies are selectable in the range of 2.7 to 10 MHz, and since the antennas form a sophisticated phased array, the transmitted beam can take many shapes, can be scanned over a wide angular range and multiple beams can be formed. The facility uses 30 transmitter shelters, each with six pairs of 10 kilowatt transmitters, to achieve the 3.6 MW transmit power.”

I hear HAARP on the air occasionally. Or I hear what I presume is HAARP, I can't find a real time status page. One would be really nice. Does anyone know of one I've missed?
