Not sure where to put this. This seems as good as any. OK - back story. Many of you know that I have been commuting between HI and NY. It's getting old and truthfully, I am highly qualified for nothing. Which is why I commute. Anyway, I have been actively searching for something full time in HI. I came across an ad for a research position located in Kona for a group doing infrasonics (below hearing range). The ad said - "expertise in digital signal processing, some field work, DOD security clearance required" (that's the short version) So, I said "ok - will deal with security as it comes up" and applied. Then I got an email telling me to contact so & so. This was the lead scientist on the project. He then tells me that they didn't put all the info in the ad. Turns out the job required extensive field work - like trekking through the jungles of Ecuador, Peru and Panama. Each trek takes 3 weeks to reach the stations. I said - yeah right, my idea of camping is the Holiday Inn.
But I got thinking about this and was talking with a few of my collegues and we all agree. How weird is that? What kind of experiments is the government doing now? With the security clearance, it has to be gov't backed. What could they possibly be doing in far-reaching remote jungles of relatively obsure countries involving infrasonics? I have to assume they are detectors of some sort. But for what? Can't be to detect earthquakes. Why would they be hidden in jungles? They have to be hidden, otherwise you should be able to get they by helicoptor or something. They'd clear the land out around the equipment. The guy was very specific in that the trek required slashing through overgrowth and such to get there. I can't imagine these stations would be emitting such low frequencies? Maybe they haven't given up on the "brown frequency"? That's the frequency that supposidly the gov't was trying to make a weapon out of - that was supposed to make you lose control when exposed to that frequency. It's been pretty much disproven - even the "Mythbusters" tackled that one. Anyway, the whole thing left me with many more question than were answered....
