In Popular Culture
The SuperDARN radar system has never really made a mark for itself in "pop culture", in spite of the number of nations that have parts of the system. On YouTube (but rarely other video sites) there are videos that various people have upped that hint or say that SuperDARN is equivalent in functionality to the HAARP system.
It is unclear how or why SuprDARN is being lumped in with systems like HAARP that operate at 100x to 1000x more output power. Due to the advancement of receiver technology at SuperDARN sites the receiver subsystems are quite sensitive, and do not require or need HF transmitters operating above 5 kW.
