GET READY FOR MORE FLARES: A new and potentially very active sunspot group emerged today. It announced itself with an X1-class solar flare, which caused a strong shortwave radio blackout over the Atlantic Ocean and Europe. More flares may be in the offing as the sunspot turns toward Earth. Developing story @ Spaceweather.com.

There was an attack today, but they managed to bring the drone down.

Maybe there was another attack that destroyed something or they shut it down to make the attacker think they hit their target. I just don’t know, I will try to find out more.

On the Russian news agency RT DE (operated by the Russian government) is another article about a terror attack on the Grigoriopol transmitter, but it failed, nothing was destroyed. I used the archive
link because it is a live ticker and older news in the ticker won’t be available anymore after a certain time.

I also don’t know more at this time about that. I also don’t know if the information I read is right or wrong.
999 and 1413 are still on air – normal operation. Maybe they want to destroy the transmitters to avoid Russian news agencies to rent airtime there to cover the Ukraine.

There is a video where they show the flight path of the drone.

999 and 1413 are not audible here: http://kiwisdr-dorohoi.ddns.net:8073/
I hope they didn’t manage to attack that station again.

SUNSPOT GENESIS: A new sunspot is growing rapidly in the sun’s southern hemisphere. AR3004 didn’t exist yesterday; now it contains more than a dozen Moon-sized dark cores. The region appears to have the type of magnetic complexity that could lead to strong flares if its development proceeds apace.
