This rugged, beautiful Washington
Coast and the rainforests of the Olympic Peninsula will soon be the site of
Electromagnetic War Games conducted by the US military… unless we speak up and
demand otherwise.

To All Concerned,
Unfortunately I didn’t learn about this terrifying Navy
project until today. The deadline for public comment isOctober 31, 2014extended to November 28th. You may submit comments [or demand, or Notices of Liability, etc] about the plan to the US Forest Service here:

I urge you to send a comment, however brief, before the
deadline.
deadline.
Briefly, the Navy is proposing to turn a large
part of Washington’s magnificent Olympic Peninsula, as well as a portion of
northeastern Washington, into Electronic Warfare training ranges. A
giant antenna resembling a house-sized golfball will be installed at the Naval
Station at Moclips, just outside the Quinault Indian Reservation on the Olympic
Peninsula. According to the data in the Environmental Assessment, I calculate
that it will have an effective power of 5 million watts. It
will be capable of sending 64 simultaneous beams at frequencies of
between 2 and 18 GHz. The golfball will only be 40 feet off the
ground.

In addition, three mobile, truck-mounted antennas will be moved around between 15 different sites
in the Olympic National Forest, and three more mobile antennas will
operate from 8 different locations in the Okanagan and Colville National Forests
in northeastern Washington. They will each have a power of 100,000 watts, and
will be in use 260 days a year, 8 to 16 hours a day. The city of Forks will be
directly in the line of fire, right between three of these locations and the
Pacific Ocean. The locations in the Colville National Forest are next to the
Colville Indian Reservation, about 70 miles northwest of Spokane, and one is
only 3 miles from the city of Oroville.
existing tower on Octopus Mountain in the Olympic Peninsula for communication
with aircraft and ships.
Needless to say, the peace of the Olympic Peninsula will
be destroyed forever. The radiation in both locations will impact predominantly
native Americans.
