I think the really important question, sidestepped in the article, is how many false positives there are. It's not much good noting that RF buildups precede earthquakes if 99% of RF buildups aren't followed by earthquakes.
I actually attended the Dayton Hamvantion this year. They had a HAARP forum, and I think that this might be interesting for everyone to listen too: http://johnrdavisjr.com/feed/NA/HAARP.mp3
It is very interesting to note that HAARP makes the sky GLOW RED when it is turned on and it operates at a low frequency to modify the ionosphere. We discussed this and the hamvention here: http://socitpodcast.wordpress.com/2010/05/24/socit-podcast-0...

"... and a few buddies..." ? Is this thing being operated out of a garage?When will wikileak give us californians this sattelite data in real time?
I can't wait for conspiracy nuts to start saying that this is proof that govt satellites use radio waves to cause earthquakes.
A more likely conspiracy theory is "wait, they KNEW and they didn't tell people to evacuate Haiti!? THOSE BASTERDS"
(completely missing the part where this was a test to see if ULF could indicate earthquakes at all)

I find it sad how quickly people are downvoting comments these days. That was a perfectly legitimate snarky remark. Don't think it's funny? Don't upvote it.
If you're looking for a place to make snarky comments and congratulate yourself on what a hilarious Internet comedian you are, go to Slashdot or Digg. That kind of pointless babble isn't supposed to be encouraged here.
PS. Don't act so offended. You just aren't funny.

Actually, people here try to be funny all the time -- and not everyone agrees on what's funny. But we try to keep things civil. I encourage you to be more civil as well.
Saying "that kind of post isn't appropriate here" and "you aren't funny" isn't civil? Really?
Not really civil, no -- considering that those kinds of posts are considered appropriate, and that I've been around a couple of years longer than your account shows you've been, and so would more more likely know what's generally OK here and what's not. "You aren't funny" is just rude -- see PG's extortions about not saying something here that you wouldn't say in person.
I'm going to let your "I've been here longer than you, nyah" comment stand on its own (lack of) merit.
I am perfectly happy to meet you, the next time I am in your town, and tell you that your comment was not funny to your face.

The next step must be to investigate whether any similar correlations have been observed. There have been plenty of major earthquakes over the past year alone. The satellite isn't going to have robust data on all of them but I would imagine that over the past 6 years they've been 'lucky' enough to collect decent data on at least a few more major earthquakes.
