HAARP?

Hurricanes happen because the oceans are getting warmer. Can HAARP cool them? Evaporation leads to storms, you can't reverse that with a heater!

Does HF even interact with water molecules? No. The "weather" is transparent to HF. The frequencies that do significantly interact with water are UHF, and those antennas are the size of large mobile homes. So what theory remains???

Lets say you use HF to punch a hole in the ionosphere that lasts a couple minutes. Could cosmic radiation get in and warm some clouds, maybe, I don't know. But what is obvious is that it can only be done directly overhead. How would they do that to a location around the globe when the thing they need to disrupt is the same thing that gets the signal there? You would need several transmitter sites all tuned to focus on one area so all the energy takes separate paths to the target. They have one transmitter site, so any weather modification would be more evident directly above them than anywhere else..

Lets say you got a cloud hot with pure magic. Convection occurs. What then? It might rain for 5 minutes until the falling moisture cools the tiny artificial updraft? It won't make a rogue thunderhead with sharp teeth...

"Conspiracy theorists" would do good by not buying into the "theories" planted by the opposing party. This is how "that one side" puts "stupid conspiracy theorist" labels on the other side. It immediately discredits you with respect to the theories that are actually supported by facts. Make a person with good points say something dumb and suddenly everything they say is untrustworthy. Just because it plays into your fears or concerns doesn't make it fact. The value of everything else a person says is diminished, whether it is true or not, by repeating the things they plant intended to discredit the "conspiracy theorist".

Nobody will listen to you talk about how a plane loaded with JP8 can have a 5 second fireball and no wreckage if you start the conversation with planned hurricanes. Its a trap. Rant complete. Sorry.

Edit:anyone truly set on believing that haarp is used for weather modification should do two things. Monitor significant global weather patterns and monitor the frequencies HAARP uses to identify a correlation. Anything short of that effort isn't worth discussing.

You could think of it from a signal perspective too. If it is more than one hop, it would probably affect weather in multiple places, energy wasted, and the closest seeing the most effect. So if the array were perfectly directional and could scrape the horizon to reach the furthest away part of the F-layer at 186 miles up without ground hopping, that comes to an effective range of 1200 miles. That barely touches the edge of Russia, only half of Canada, and a little into Washington state. Certainly not Florida.

Don't mind us, we're just gonna change the weather via 2 hops by putting a gigawatt on the ground in North Dakota Chicago lol. Unplug those SA's for hurricaine season!
 
Yes, Diathermy.
didn't know about diathermy and never would have imagined that possible. One time I held onto the mobile vhf antenna and keyed the radio and it definitely warmed my hand up (did it several times, tough radio), but putting that much energy in such a confined area at that distance given how that frequency propagates just doesn't seem practical. Maybe I'm wrong.

One thing is certain. If the government could sell rain, they would be. Too many corporate agendas depend on specific weather conditions for evidence of it happening to be absent. It would be cool if someone would try to correlate their transmissions with weather events deviating from model predictions.

Used to service diathermy machines decades ago. A big Siemens model had casters and used a 300-Watt triode in a power oscillator circuit. Another one made by Mettler used two sweep tubes in a power oscillator circuit. It was a lot more compact with the oscillator and antenna combined in a "hat box" enclosure on a boom. Power supply was in the base. Only remember one that resembled a transmitter with a quartz crystal and amplifier stages. That one used four sweep tubes in the final stage. The client who brought them to us retired before that stuff went solid-state. Never wanted to deal with doctors directly, so that was the end of support for that kind of product.

Final test was easy. Hold you hand up to the applicator/antenna and see how fast it got hot.

BTW, the two FCC-authorized frequencies are 13.56 MHz and 27.12 MHz. The allowable tolerance is kinda wide, so you'll hear them above or below that by a few channels.

I wonder if 13.5MHz is within that tolerance. I just saw a deal too good to pass up, a seller on ebay offering bags of 200 13.5MHz crystals for $11. I ordered 400 of them hoping to make a few matching sets for crystal filter projects. Maybe an IF where a bunch of high powered medical devices operate is a bad idea.

Only if you're near any of them.

The standard IF frequency for a television receiver in the early 1950s was 21 MHz. This caused interference issues with the 15-meter ham band. Just too easy for your signal to leak into a nearby TV. The industry moved this to 41 MHz in the late 50s. Fixed the problem.
