There will be a research campaign starting late 4 November (UTC) and continuing each day to early 8 November (UTC).

There will be many AIRGlow experiments in which attempts will be made to produce artificial aurora at about 200 - 250 km altitudes. If you're roughly within 500 km of the HAARP facility (ie, parts of Alaska and western Canada), you may be able to see the airglow weather permitting.

The AIRGlow experiments depend on certain ionospheric and magnetic conditions. If those conditions do not occur, substitute experiments will be conducted that are designed to produce ELF/VLF radio waves (in fact, the ELF/VLF also may be produced even if the AIRGlow experiments take place).

There are several other experiments, and all will use the Ionospheric Research Instrument (IRI) at HAARP, which operates between 2.8 and 10 MHz. The IRI transmissions may be received with a general coverage receiver and a good antenna. Observations of the ELF/VLF emissions will require a receiver/antenna from a few Hz to roughly 20 kHz.

We will issue a HAARP Notice of Transmission in a few days with more details and FAQ. Please remember that all info is subject to change.
