An Ionospheric Modification Facility for the Magnetic Equator

This is a conceptual proposal for the deployment of an ionospheric modification facility, also called and HF facility or ionospheric heater, near the geomagnetic equator. A heater is a powerful high-frequency (HF), or shortwave, radio transmitter that can be used to induce a number of phenomena of importance to the solar-terrestrial research community.
