I don't think your short wave will do you much good. Isn't the whole
point of HAARP to destroy the ionosphere?
The ionosphere cannot be "destroyed" it is constantly being created /
renewed by the effects of incoming solar particles. In fact, the
ionosphere's D layer completely disappears on the night side of the earth,
but returns full-strength in a matter of less than one hour after sunrise.
Sometimes the entire global ionosphere IS completely "destroyed"
(electrically neutralized) after the CME from a large solar flare impacts -
but it always returns once the storm subsides.
The ill-informed make a big deal about the multi-megawatt ERP of the HAARP
antenna array. As it happens, the electron current in the ionosphere at any
given moment from solar radiation amounts to hundreds of BILLIONS of watts.
Compared to that, the effect of HAARP is like a mosquito biting an
elephant.
HAARP might indeed be able to create a small localized "hole" in the
ionosphere directly above the transmitting array - in the same way you
could create a temporary "hole" in the surface of a glass of water by
putting an object in the glass - a hole which would fill and disappear the
moment you remove the object... just as any HARRP-induced effect on the
ionosphere would quickly disappear once the array is switched off.
The crap that HAARP alarmists believe never fails to amaze me. It's a sad
commentary on the poor state of science and math education in the public
schools.
