Storm Chaser Wanted

Anyway the part about the lightning interfering with this guy's recording of the electromagnetic signals of the aurora makes me curious - wouldn't the lightning in a tornadic storm REALLY interfere with trying to get electromagnetic readings?

Nope, I never get these messages either, nor am I lucky enough to have my images circulate the internet :cry: :lol:
 
I suppose I could use the EM Rail gun on my vehicle to help, although it more or less transmits rather than receives!! :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:
 
Oh, BTW, they forgot to mention you'd have to drag a ten-mile long directional VLF antenna, though with some creative electrics you might be able to throw a lead over the nearest 12kv powerline now and then. :wink:
 
I sent this email to him:

Am I missing something? You want storm chasers to help you out and we have to pay for the equipment, but we do get credit for helping?

And this was the reply I got back.:

Hi Charles,

I realize that sounds a bit bunk. There is a great upside. We believe that
we are 99% correct on this hypothesis and I believe that this will be one of
the greatest discoveries of the century. This will give us much more control
than we currently have.

There is potentially pay involved.

We are all volunteers at the group and we are involved because our
experiments are proving to be correct. If we can establish this early
warning system, everyone involved will be receiving credit.

If we are correct, we will be able to pay the people who volunteer $25 per
second of the successful footage that is captured of film. (It¹s in the
agreement).

Steve McGreevy is discounting his receiver to just the cost, or he has
posted the schematic on his website for anyone to build. We built one
ourselves and it works great.

We already have 3 different distribution channels who want to broadcast the
discovery. Upon the signing of a distribution agreement all successful
participants will receive compensation.

We would love to have you on board. On our web site www.tam.la are the
details of the research. The instructions are their as well.

I will attach the pdf file now so you can give it a read through.

It¹s very exciting as we are getting world-wide coverage.

All that we ask of storm chasers is to register with us so we can keep track
of their success and to record the electromagnetic field sounds of the
developing storm and hopefully to the vortex stage. After a successful
recording, you own the rights, all that we ask is that you share the
recorded data with our research department.

The inventor of the BBB-4 VLF receiver that records the sounds of the
auroras is going to help our group by discounting the receivers at cost.

After you read the instructions of the pdf file and if you like what you
see, please forward the information to other storm chasers and the media as
well.

If you want to be amazed check out the sounds of the auroras at
http://www.spaceweathersounds.com/sndbites.htm
My favorite is on our website, it¹s a large file but it¹s worth it. Go to
The Sound of The Aurora.

Also check out my personal discovery of the influence of Electromagnetic
waves in tornadoes and hurricanes along with our experiments.

If you have any questions please feel free to ask.

Sincerely,

Richard Heene


I won't be helping out with this one.
 
I lost my BBB-4 VLF receiver... can I borrow your's?

I too got the same email... knew right away these guys off the wall.... perhaps a scam or just some weirdos needing a new hobby? Kinda strange how they would make you pay for all that strange equipment... really makes you wonder :?

I think it was sent to pretty much anyone who has their e-mail listed in the forums (via the e-mail button).

If you notice, the people who do not have an e-mail button seem to luck out and never get any of the e-mail messages with plague the board.

Might be, but after looking over the 2 pages Jeff, Mickey, and I never received this :D, and have a email button below our posts.

Blake (didn't get it directly anyway) and rdewey are the ones without a email button that did not receive the email.
 
It wasn't through the email button on the forums. It masks your email, and when you email through it, it puts a header up that clearly shows they emailed you through the storm track forum.

I would be more suspicious of the old stormtrack yahoo group (why is this thing still even active BTW?) or wxchase.
