Thanks
No...not with a magnifying glass
With array of Antennas like a HAARP or a parabolic reflectors
Good...that is an example of concentrated Radio Waves..
Depends on how much space you want to affect....you not trying to affect the entire ocean but a relatively small part.
So it is even easier to heat
HAARP Explained - Inventor Dr Bernard Eastlund
The above quote reminds of when Einstein Famously said Nuclear energy will never be realized/obtained....less than a few years later this most eminent scientist was proven
From heavier-than-air flight to black holes and teleportation, we round up 10 things that were once believed to be physically impossible – but have now become reality

There is almost always a solution....where there is a will there is a way.
First I want to thank you for presenting a good case. Thank you, also, for presenting the best example of a person who seems to be a credible proponent of HAARP's military or environmental capabilities.
A lot of people might have tried to avoid this in order to protect their belief and just used debate tactics to distract. But you have a lot of integrity and I really appreciate that.
With that out of the way...
My goal was to try to match the level of your integrity by trying to first support Dr. Eastlund's position. It's too easy to start with debunking. But just for the record, what did I say from the beginning?
1) not enough power
2) signal loss over greater distances (requiring more power)
3) not enough equipment/capacity (which handling more power would require)
= the problem is with
SCALE
This was just off the dome; not coming from any external source or research. With all that being said, when I first started reading about Eastlund's life and accomplishments he does appear to be credible, his research/ideas are in the right sector, and it doesn't look like he's that wrong in theory. At least from my position. Because again... I don't have the pedigree to debate him (RIP). Like I said, I don't have the numbers for how much power you'd need to do these things. I just know you'd need a lot; way more power than what you'd need to play Beyonce's new album to Russia.

Around this point is normally where conspiracy theorists stop. They grab on to the possibility of something without looking at the cost or the viability of the actual application. Here, we can see Dr. Eastlund's very real patents. They seem to be all based on heating which is related to the general field he was in (
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bernard_Eastlund). So everything checks out and lines up to this point. So from here, I wouldn't fault you or anyone else for considering this to be valid evidence supporting the weather modification claims.
However...
Transmitter 16 is powered by power generator means 17 which is preferably comprised of one or more large, commercial electrical generators. Some embodiments of the present invention require large amounts of power, e.g., up to 109 to 1011 watts, in continuous wave or pulsed power. Generation of the needed power is within the state of the art. Although the electrical generators necessary for the practice of the invention can be powered in any known manner, for example, by nuclear reactors, hydroelectric facilities, hydrocarbon fuels, and the like, this invention, because of its very large power requirement in certain applications, is particularly adapted for use with certain types of fuel sources which naturally occur at strategic geographical locations around the earth. For example, large reserves of hydrocarbons (oil and natural gas) exist in
Alaska and Canada. -

This is what Eastlund says in his own patent. This didn't copy well. It's not "1011 watts". It's 10 to the 11th power which = 100,
000,000,000. The Bold area in this number represents the megawatt range that HAARP operates at. So, unless I am mistaken, this is an order of magnitude less than what Eastlund was describing.
According to the Wikipedia article:
One of Eastlund's patents (US4686605 A) described an adaptation of concepts first proposed by
Nikola Tesla. Eastlund's
"Method and apparatus for altering a region in the earth's atmosphere, ionosphere, and/or magnetosphere", described as "grandiose", proposed a
40-mile square radio transmitter that used Alaskan natural gas to generate current to create electromagnetic radiation that would excite a section of the
ionosphere.
note: I would have liked to have found this myself instead of relying on a quote.
So after this, I did what I normally do which is google X person debunked. That led me here:
And so here again... we see that the issue is scale. (I actually feel pretty good about my limited knowledge)
A further disconnect in this conspiracy claim is that Dr. Eastlund's patent was for a speculative and unproven device approximately one million times as powerful as HAARP. The patent does not mention HAARP, and none of its drawings remotely resemble anything built at HAARP. For perspective, HAARP's antenna array measures about 1000 feet on a side. A device such as that imagined by Dr. Eastlund would have been 14 miles on a side, with one million antenna elements, compared to HAARP's 180.
Also, reading the actual patent, the following is also true:
Eastlund did NOT invent HAARP. HAARP is just an ionospheric heater research facility.
Eastlund's own patent describes such ionospheric heating as having gone on well before the 1985 patent:
When I said the temp of the ionosphere fluctuates (from 200 Kelvin (or -99 degrees Fahrenheit) to 500K (or 440 degrees Fahrenheit).), you said:
So it is even easier to heat
But what I was trying to get you to see is that these naturally occurring fluctuations do not produce a bunch of weather effects. So the question again, is how much would you have to heat an area to surpass the temperatures it already experiences? We're talking about a part of our atmosphere that receives varying amounts of solar radiation. When there's a solar flare, the ionosphere is what absorbs it. That is a LOT of energy. That doesn't make it "easier" to heat. It just means its more resilient to heat. The sun has virtually limitless power so heating the ionosphere "wirelessly" is not a problem.
Further, if the ionospheric storms caused by the sun itself don’t affect the surface weather, there is no chance that HAARP can either. Electromagnetic interactions only occur in the near vacuum of the rarefied, but electrically charged region of the atmosphere above about 60-80 km (a little over 45 miles), known as the ionosphere. The ionosphere is created and continuously replenished as the sun’s radiation interacts with the highest levels of the Earth’s atmosphere.
But you need a power source equal to the task of what you're proposing. This is why I keep saying that just because something is theoretically possible, and even if demonstrated on a small scale, doesn't mean it's possible on a large scale without the required energy. And the number of HAARPs transmitters are not enough to handle that load. 3.6MW is not enough power. Compare this to energy a single bolt of lighting can produce?
So we're nowhere near the levels of energy that it would take to significantly impact the weather or anything else through the ionosphere.
The HAARP website says, “Since the ionosphere is, inherently, a turbulent medium that is being both ‘stirred up’ and renewed by the sun, artificially induced effects are quickly obliterated. Depending on the height within the ionosphere where the effect is originally produced, these effects are no longer detectable after times ranging from less than a second to 10 minutes.” Once again, local changes to the ionosphere resulting from HAARP are many orders of magnitude less than those global changes caused by variations in the Sun’s energy output. According to the HAARP Environmental Impact Statement, there are no significant impacts to the ionosphere, and therefore, no mitigation measures are required.
And since Tesla was mentioned, there also seems to be confusion as to how Tesla's own work and statements have suggested.

I want to state explicitly that this invention of mine does not contemplate the use of any so-called " death rays." Rays are not applicable because they cannot be produced in requisite quantities and diminish rapidly in intensity with distance. All the energy of New York City (approximately two million horsepower) transformed into rays and projected twenty miles, could not kill a human being, because, according to a well known law of physics, it would disperse to such an extent as to be ineffectual.
This is what I meant by all of HAARP's power being able to broadcast music to China but not much else. Because the power you'd have to use to broadcast that signal, even with beam-forming tech, would be more than what HAARP can produce. So even if HAARP could generate some cataclysm in Alaska, that doesn't mean it could affect China or Russia. And neither country has used any political means to denounce or treat HAARP as a threat. Why? Because they're scientists would also tell them the same things I'm telling you.
So... Let's review: HAARP
1) doesn't have enough power
2) is unclassified and open to the public
3) is used by non-government research scientists
4) is not viewed as a threat to our enemies
5) doesn't operate in the same layer of atmosphere that could impact weather
6) debunked as a weapon by Tesla
7) isn't doing more heating than the sun
