BART's Strong Wave Reaches Space Echoes Beyond Stanford
Bay Area Rapid Transit emits a 36 megawatt ultra low frequency wave, strongest radio power in the region, detectable from miles away and even influencing a compass. Scientist Antony Fraser Smith proposes ionospheric disturbance and deep-earth mapping potential, while noting limited study on human or animal effects. The signal originates along BART’s third rail, with trains’ motion powering the emission.
