Just in case anyone is curious about it:

HAM RADIO OBSERVING OPPORTUNITY: Ham radio operators may be able to detect today's HAARP radio transmission to asteroid 2010 XC15. HAARP will be transmitting at 9.6 MHz from 1100 UTC to 2300 UTC. A thickening ionosphere during the 2nd half of experiment may allow the signal to be detected far away via ionospheric skip.

'Nearby' confirmation of how the signal should sound can be heard from Anchorage WebSDR about 400km from Fairbanks HAARP; http://wl7no.ddns.net:8074/?f=9599.68usbz9

Also, it can be received on WL7NO WebSDR. http://www.ipernity.com/doc/777361/51719510 

Sweeps audible here in the UK too.  http://wessex.zapto.org:8073/?f=9599.950amz9

Hi Miguel, thanks for the reminder of this activity.

The first time using my SDRplay receiver and a MLA-30+ loop antenna for this kind of detection but I've captured a couple of recordings this afternoon, streams of 2s and 3s chirps at 9.6MHz. 

Are you able to confirm that these are HAARP transmissions?

Regards, Andy

Hi Andy,

Unfortunately, I can't confirm it, sorry.

The longer recording seems to have a period around 3-4 seconds, while the chirp was supposed to be repeated at 2-second intervals.

 

 

The shorter recording is closer to that period.

I think there is also one period in each file that is shorter than the rest of them.

 

But I can't tell you more at this moment.

If I find a sample recording about how it should sound, I will post here.

 

 

Thank you very much for sharing your findings !!

Regards,

 

Miguel

 

EDIT: according to https://www.spaceweather.com/images2022/26dec22/HAARP-2010XC15-2022-FINAL.pdf you might send your recordings to them:
