 HAARP facility in danger of being dismantled

ARRL report the *High Frequency Active Auroral Research Program*(HAARP)
facility near Gakona, Alaska, could be decommissioned and dismantled
altogether unless the US Air Force can find a new prime contractor to take
over the 35-acre facility

They cite a story in the Alaska Depatch which says the Geophysical
Institute at the University of Alaska-Fairbanks is hoping to pull together
a plan to run the facility, which long has been a subject of fascination
for hams and the target of conspiracy theorists. The facility shut down
last year and, with the exception of some contract-funded research, it has
essentially remained in standby.

Money is one major issue. The US Air Force Research Laboratory wants to see
HAARP survive, “but only if someone else pays the bills, estimated at about
$5 million a year,� the article said.

The UK company BAE Systems only completed work on the HAARP facility in
2007 and it was used to achieve 7 MHz Moonbounce (EME)
