Hi Dick,
If as you say, this experiment could disrupt worldwide HF communications
and broadcasting for perhaps a week by what right should they be allowed to do
the work?
The results would impinge on nations not involved in their satellite sytems
and could potentially cause severe damage to commerce together with potential
disruption to a great many activities which rely on HF communications.
Without the prior agreement of ALL nations who use HF spectrum surely this
could be construed as an act of aggression by the perpetrators on all
non-participants!
I am not knowledgable enough on the subject but I would also feel strongly
that there must be the fullest possible discussion internationally before anyone
starts mucking about with the earths radiation belts regardless of what they say
happens from time to time naturally. There are far too many "experts" out there
mucking about with this planet' eco systems already!
Don't forget, some of the governments involved have been more than happy in
the past to hide from us the fact that smoking is dangerous to health while
sucking up all the tax revenues they can lay their hands on!
By the way, if they do this by generating some kind of massive EM pulse at
LF wii we be able to claim compensation for any damage caused to our
equipment?
A plague on all their houses I say !
