Persingers expts indicate that wholesale immersion in the field is 
sufficient to alter behaviour.
We're not talking about complex information transfer, merely a slightly 
selective screwing up of some brain functions.

Also, it's not wavelength that matters particularly, but modulation.
Persingers work was done in the hunderds of Hz using pulse trains that 
mimicked firing paterns found in major areas of the brain at field 
strength of less than 10% of geomagnetic.

I'm not claiming that HAARP is set up to hit the global population with 
such effects. However, if I were looking for that kind of wide area 
technology non-linear plasma pumping in the ionosphere at the poles 
might be a good place to start, esp given the energy released in these 
regions during solar events.

However, we are only likely to hear of military failures rather than 
successes eg the idea of using it as a missile shield.
