Re: Magnetic Anomaly - H-3
Do any of you know if the Omega Station below in Haiku valley is still in operation? If so, that's gotta' be the cause of this "Magnetic Anomaly".
I remember going up there back in the 80's to sign-in to climb "Stairway to Heaven", and there were signs posted outside in the parking lot in front of the station that read "HIGH VOLTAGE. SERIOUS ELECTRICAL SHOCK RISK". Something to that effect.
One of the Coast Guard officers working there told us if you were to touch the flag pole outside barefooted, you'd COOK from an over 240,000 volt jolt (or some crazy 6-figure voltage). YOW!
There were these pretty loud audible RF signals with changing pitch (like an old tube TV, IIRC) that pierced through the air right around the station parking lot.
The Kaneohe Omega Station is a fascinating communications engineering concept.

Re: Magnetic Anomaly - H-3
About 1/8 mile from the tunnel entrance on the town side, my iPhone compass went nuts.
But I was wrong about iPhone compasses. They are actually magnetic.

Re: Magnetic Anomaly - H-3
I don't have solutions or explainations as to why it's happen but I would ask the following questions.
Since you mention this happens if you are going townbound on the H-3, does it also happen if:- You go Windward bound (or is that Kaneohe bound) on the H-3?
- You take the Likelike Highway instead of the H-3 and this happens when you go thru the Wilson Tunnels (in either direction)?
- Does this also happens if you take Pali Highway and it happens when you go thru the Pali Tunnels (again in either direction)?

Re: Magnetic Anomaly - H-3
Tonight, from the 3 mile marker (2 miles from the tunnel, PH to WW) it started again. Said I was going West, spun around, back and forth.
Within sight of the tunnel it stopped,and started indicating East again.
Either it's magnetic bu9ilding materials or microwaves or... ???

Re: Magnetic Anomaly - H-3
Huh. I'm going to try it with the compass in my iPhone, which uses microwave triangulation instead of magnets.

Magnetic Anomaly - H-3
I'd noticed it before, and yesterday I went back to check it out and make sure. It's real.
Recently I put a compass in my car. I drive H-3 regularly and recently, coming out of the H-3 tunnel townbound, I noticed my compass gyrating wildly. I'd never seen it do that before.
Yesterday I wasn't in a hurry, the road was clear and I paid close attention:
A few hundred feet out of the tunnel the compass started swinging back and forth, from SW to NE and back and past, even spinning completely around a few times, and for a while holding steadily to North (even though I was NOT going North at that point) before going back to 'normal' about a quarter mile past the tunnel.
I didn't measure exact start and stop points - I'll try to do that today, tie it to mile markers or reference points.
I've heard of such magnetic anomalies before, but this is the first one I've ever seen. I know they can be caused by large deposits of magnetic ore, and sometimes microwave emissions, and sometimes we just don't know why.
Naturally I thought about the heiau complex buried under the expressway - silly me! I know better than that!
Anyone else know anything about this? Have you experienced it?
Spooky!
