HAARP Closing Delayed
HAARP Closing Delay, But Facility Being Dismantled Piecemeal
The US Air Force has given the High Frequency Active Auroral Research Program (HAARP) facility in Gakona, Alaska, a death row reprieve of sorts. The Secretary of the Air Force told Alaska Sen Lisa Murkowski July 2 that it is "willing to slow the closure process and defer irreversible dismantling of the transmitter site" until May 2015. Those pushing for HAARP to remain open as a scientific research facility include several radio amateurs. HAARP proponents claim, however, that despite the delay, the Air Force has been picking the plant apart piece by piece, and that critical research instruments already have been taken off site.
University of Alaska Fairbanks (UAF) Professor Chris Fallen, KL3WX, who has conducted research at HAARP, told ARRL that it was his "unofficial understanding" that the Air Force has already rendered HAARP reversibly inoperable through the removal or relocation of critical diagnostic instruments, instrument shelters, office furniture, and even tubes for the multiple transmitters. HAARP's transmitters are capable of generating more than 3 gigawatts of RF in the HF spectrum, which its 180 antennas can direct upward to the ionosphere.
Secretary of the Air Force Deborah Lee James told Murkowski that the Air Force "will proceed with removal of government property not essential to operations and will seek to reduce maintenance costs through additional storage of equipment and winterization; however, we will retain critical hardware to maximize the potential to reactivate the site, should it be transferred to another federal government agency or a private entity next year."
In May Murkowski raised questions in Congress about the impending HAARP closure, and she took some credit for the shutdown delay. Murkowski had questioned why the Pentagon was planning to demolish HAARP, "asking whether it was fiscally sound to destroy an approximately $300 million facility when it costs less than one percent of that amount to operate it each year," a news release from her office said. She said she supports handing control of HAARP over to the University of Alaska or another research entity to "keep the world-class facility open and running."
"The [news release] states that the Air Force is in the process of removing 'non-critical' equipment, which essentially means anything not bolted to the floor such as generators, amplifiers, antennae, and control systems," Fallen asserted. "While I would consider the diagnostic instruments as 'critical' to an ionosphere modification observatory, this apparently is no at a universal interpretation." He said HAARP's diagnostic instruments, including the riometer and ionosonde, have not been available since June 2013 and are in immediate danger of being removed. Hams in Alaska have used data from both instruments in conducting their own ionospheric investigations.
UAF has been engaged in discussions with the Air Force with an eye toward taking over HAARP, although it's not clear that these have gained any serious traction Additional text at: http://www.arrl.org/news/haarp-death-sentence-stayed-but-facility-being-dismantled-piece-by-piece

Revised Summer Schedule: Radio Free Asia
This current Radio Free Asia summer schedule, supersedes all other RFA
schedules that have recently been published in hobby newsletters, email news groups and blogs, as part of the
IBB/BBG frequency adjustments from July 1, 2014.
This version, directly from the station’s frequency manager, is effective
July 12. It does not separate the various language services, by broadcast days,
or “frequency hopping.” Instead, it reflects what Radio Free Asia is currently broadcasting at what time and frequency. Any
adjustments to this schedule will be posted as those occur.

Highlights of Solar and Geomagnetic Activity 07 - 13 July 2014
Solar activity reached moderate levels this week with M-class flares observed from Regions 2113 (N07, L=165, class/area=Cao/80 on 07 July) and 2106 (N14, L=264, class/area=Cao/120 on 09 July). The largest was an M6/2B event (R2 - moderate radio blackout) from Region 2113 on 08 July at 1520 UTC. This event was accompanied by Type II (949 km/s) and IV radio emissions but the CME, observed in
SOHO/LASCO C2 coronagraph imagery at 1636 UTC, was directed north of the ecliptic and east of the Earth-Sun line.
Approximately eight hours later, this same region produced an M1 (R1 - minor radio blackout) event at 09/0026 UTC, also accompaneid by a Type II emission (1187 km/s). A faint CME emerged from the east limb beginning at about 09/0125 UTC in SOHO/LASCO C2 coronagraph imagery. Again, this CME was judged not to be Earth-directed.
Also on the 9th, an approximately 18 degree long filament, centered near S02E11, was observed in SDO AIA/304 imagery erupting between 09/1640-1757 UTC. SOHO/LASCO C2 imagery showed the CME emerging shortly before 09/1900 UTC. The CME was analyzed, modeled, and predicted to arrive at Earth around midday on 13 July.
On the 10th, Region 2106 produced an M1(R1 - minor) flare at 2234 UTC without any accompanying radio emissions.
The remainder of the week was characterized by C-class activity despite the presence of large, complex regions on the visible disk. Region 2108 (S07, L=239, class/area=Ekc/890 on 08 July) was the largest and developed a beta-gamma-delta configuration, yet produced only C-flares.
No proton events were observed at geosynchronous orbit.
The greater than 2 MeV electron flux at geosynchronous orbit was at low levels throughout the week.
Planetary geomagnetic field activity was mostly quiet during the week with the exception of the last synoptic period of 09 July and the first of 10 July, which were unsettled. At high latitudes, geomagnetic field activity reached active levels, with an isolated minor storm episode, on 12 July. Solar wind speed remained in the 300 km/s to the low 400 km/s range, steadily increasing from 08 July until midday on 10 July, after which it began to decline. Bz never dipped below -10 nT all week. After 13/0830 UTC, Bt began to increase significantly, nearing 11 nT by the end of the day. Phi was generally positive throughout the week, with the exception of a brief rotation to negative territory early on 12 July, which may have contributed to the disturbed conditions at high latitudes.
Forecast of Solar and Geomagnetic Activity 14 July - 09 August 2014
Solar activity is expected to be at low to moderate levels (R1 - minor) throughout the forecast period, with an increased chance for moderate levels of activity after 24 July as the larger active regions begin to return.
No proton events are expected at geosynchronous orbit.
The greater than 2 MeV electron flux at geosynchronous orbit is expected to be at normal to moderate levels throughout the period.
Geomagnetic field activity is expected to be at queit to unsettled levels in the absence of any transients. Recurrent features are expected to bring unsettled to active conditions from 14-16 July, and on 26 July.

Walter Brodowsky, set to retire from Media Broadcast
![]() |
| One of several QSLs from Media Broadcast |
first DTK-Julich and then later from Media Broadcast. Speaking for myself, his dedication to his responsibility to verification replies was a first.He will be missed and hopefully his replacement will carry on this tradition........
Edward Kusalik
Received this e-mail:
Dear Ladies and Gentlemen, dear Customers,
Special greetings from MEDIA BROADCAST’s Headquarter at Cologne.
I would like to let you know that after 43 years on duty of which approx. 38 years in different (technical and commercial) functions in short-wave business surprisingly I received a remarkable offer from my
Employer MEDIA BROADCAST GmbH to realize a special form of early retirement which I really couldn't refuse.
As I agreed with that offer in result my last working day on duty in the office will be Friday, 18th July 2014.
Regarding MEDIA BROADCAST GmbH’s short-wave business, my successor will be my colleague Michael Pütz who is well known as Frequency Manager during the most recent “High Frequency Coordination Conference” (HFCC) and “Group of Eight” frequency coordination business for many years
already. Please be so kind and send all your email correspondence to Michael’s email address instead of mine in the future. Please note Michael's phone contact as following: *_+49 221 7101 5319_*
Volker Behling, who is also well known at customer side will be supporting the commercial activities, too. Please note Volkers phone contact as following: *_+49 221 7101 5316_*
Having said that, I have to admit that I will leave my long lasting employment which was mainly focused on all aspects of global short-wave business with a “laughing” and a “crying eye” – the laughing eye because from that date as mentioned above I will be able to take full time opportunity for new challenges and new projects which will have more private character and which were not possible to be realized until yet due to lack of time availability. For me, this is a real dream come through having the complete freedom to do this now and start a new segment in my life as having much more time available for my family including children and grandchildren.But also I will leave with a crying eye by closing that door behind in my life when I think back of all those fine people who I was allowed and privileged to meet and to talk to during meetings and customer contacts as well as during all those HFCC conferences face to face since 1995 when I started these commercial activities regarding short-wave business.
Let me take this opportunity to say “thank you very much” to all of you for a long term good business partnership in the best spirit to create a better world which should be a little bit more peaceful as it is today.
By the way, I tried to forget nobody to inform, but if it should be so, please don’t feel insulted if I forgot somebody to put in the loop.
“Au revoir” and “wishing well” for you all, your families and your personal future and best wishes
Sincerely your’s and best regards

Highlights of Solar and Geomagnetic Activity 30 June - 06 July 2014
Solar activity began the period at low levels with a C3/Sf flare at 30/1318 UTC from Region 2106 (N14, L=260 class/area Dao/140 on 04 Jul). Moderate levels were reached on 01 Jul when Region 2106
produced an M1 at 01/1123 UTC. Despite the vast areal coverage and magnetic complexity of Regions 2104 (S12, L=269 class/area Dkc/470 on 02 Jul), 2106, 2107 (S20, L=261 class/area Dko/340 on 02 Jul), 2108 (S08, L=239 class/area Eki/620 on 06 Jul) and 2109 (S08, L=219 class/area Ekc/830 on 05 Jul) solar activity remained at low levels for the rest of the period. A filament eruption centered near S43E59
was observed lifting off in SDO/AIA 193 imagery between 05/1800 - 06/0300 UTC but the subsequent coronal mass ejection was determined to be well south of the Sun-Earth line and is not expected to be
geoeffective.
No proton events were observed at geosynchronous orbit.
The greater than 2 MeV electron flux at geosynchronous orbit was at normal levels throughout the period.
Geomagnetic field activity was at mostly quiet levels throughout the week with the exception of two isolated unsettled periods on 30 Jun between 0000 - 0300 UTC and 03 July between 0900 - 1200 UTC.
Forecast of Solar and Geomagnetic Activity 07 July - 02 August 2014
Solar activity is likely to be moderate through 15 Jul as Regions 2104, 2106, 2107, 2108 and finally 2109 move across the visible disk and then rotate around the west limb. Low levels are expected with
only a chance for moderate activity from 16 - 24 Jul. Activity is expected to increase on 25 Jul with the anticipated return of these large and magnetically complex regions. Moderate activity is likely throughout the remainder of the period.
No proton events are expected at geosynchronous orbit.
The greater than 2 MeV electron flux at geosynchronous orbit is expected to be at normal levels throughout the period.
Geomagnetic field activity is expected to be quiet from 07 - 08 Jul. Quiet to unsettled conditions are expected from 09 - 17 July with active periods possible on 15 Jul due to effects from a series of
coronal hole high speed streams (CH HSS). Mostly quiet conditions are expected for the remainder of the period with the exception of 26 Jul, when a recurrent weak CH HSS is expected to increase
activity to unsettled levels.

Peru
Radio Logos, 4810 kHz Station verified my email report with an electronic attachment reply in one day, from Rat Rising, Project Director, and from Rafael Rodriguez R. (who actually sent the E-QSL based on Ray's instructions). Ray mentioned in his email that Radio Logos is located at the end of the road from the larger city of Tarapoto, Peru. The station's signal is beamed to the jungle state of Loreto in nine indigenous languages. This is also at the end of the electric power grid. This has presented problems with power surges damaging the TB-1000 one KW transmitter. Since it was installed in July 2012, it has been off the air three times. Once it was repaired by instructions via Skype video and twice by the engineer from Canada. The last time, more line voltage protection, including a ferro resonant transformer was added. The receivers are fixed tuned units from Galcom. These are sent to the rural areas. (signed, Ray Rising K4LWJ/HK3SR).
