Buffalo supermarket shooting

On May 14, 2022, a mass shooting occurred in Buffalo, New York, at a Tops Friendly Markets store, a supermarket in the Kingsley neighborhood on the eastern side of the city. At around 2:30 p.m. EDT (UTC−04:00), the shooter arrived at the Tops supermarket on Jefferson Avenue, in a predominantly black neighborhood in Buffalo, New York. He was wearing body armor, a military grade helmet, carrying a modified Bushmaster XM-15 rifle, and a head-mounted camera, through which he livestreamed the attack on Twitch. In his car, he had a Savage Arms Axis XP hunting rifle and a Mossberg 500 shotgun. As he approached the scene, he was recorded on his livestream saying "just got to go for it". At 2:31 p.m., Buffalo police received a call reporting shots fired at the store. The first responding officers and firefighters arrived a minute later and reported bodies lying outside the building. At 2:34 p.m., a dispatcher started informing responding officers of an active shooter situation at the store.

The shooter shot four people in the parking lot, killing three. He then entered the store, shooting eight more people and killing six. According to a law enforcement source, the shooter yelled racial slurs during the incident. At some point, an armed security guard, former Buffalo Police Department officer Aaron Salter Jr., shot at him. Due to the shooter's body armor, Salter's bullet did not stop him. The shooter returned fire at Salter, who died at the scene. At another point, the shooter aimed his gun at a white person cowering behind a checkout counter but apologized and did not shoot.

By 2:36 p.m., the shooter had gone to the front of the building, where patrol officers were able to talk him into dropping his gun after he reportedly aimed it at his neck. After his arrest, the suspect made disturbing statements regarding his motive and state of mind.

Thirteen people – eleven of them black and two white – were shot, ten fatally. The oldest was 86, and the youngest was 20. Four victims were employees of the store, including Salter, who died; the other three survived. All ten who died were black. As of May 15, two of the injured remained hospitalized at Erie County Medical Center in stable condition.

Erie County Sheriff John Garcia said the shooting was a "straight up racially motivated hate crime from somebody outside of our community". The head of the local FBI office, Stephen Belongia, told reporters that the agency is investigating the shooting as both a hate crime and an act of racially motivated violent extremism. Police arrested the shooter and transported him to Buffalo Police Headquarters, with police reporting him to be in custody by about 2:36 p.m. The shooter's parents have cooperated with investigators and were interviewed by federal agents. According to the Buffalo police commissioner, they "uncovered information that if he escaped the supermarket, he had plans to continue his attack".

The accused, identified in court as Payton S. Gendron, is an 18-year-old white man. Police said that he is not from Buffalo, and that he had travelled for three-and-a-half hours to the supermarket from his hometown of Conklin, about 200 miles (320 km) away. Classmates interviewed by The New York Times said he was quiet and rarely attended in-person classes, and he exhibited a range of idiosyncratic behavior, including wearing a hazmat suit to class.

Police said Gendron had been in Buffalo in early March. They also said he was there a day before the shooting and had carried out reconnaissance at the Tops supermarket. The county's district attorney said he had evidence that Gendron was motivated by "racial animosity". According to police, he had researched previous hate-motivated attacks and shootings.

In June 2021, Gendron had been investigated by police in Broome County for threatening other students at his high school. According to Governor Kathy Hochul, a teacher asked him about his plans after the school year, and he responded, "I want to murder and commit suicide". He was referred to a hospital for mental health evaluation and counselling. He was released after being held for a day and a half. He was not charged in connection with the incident.

On his rifle, he had reportedly written the word ‘nigger’ and referenced reparations, along with the names of fellow white supremacist mass murderers Dylann Roof, Robert Bowers, Brenton Tarrant, and John Earnest, the acronym SYGAOWN (Stop Your Genocide Against Our White Nations), and the year 2083, a reference to the manifesto of Anders Behring Breivik. On the weapons in his car which had not been used during the shooting, he reportedly had written "White Lives Matter" and "what appears to be the name of a victim of a crime committed by a Black suspect", according to CNN.

Gendron is reported to have written a 180-page manifesto released prior to the shooting, primarily concerning the topic of mass immigration. The manifesto was originally posted on Google Docs on the evening of May 12, two days before the attack, and according to file data, it had not been modified since. Federal law enforcement sources told CNN that they were reviewing the document,as well as his 673-page online diary.

The manifesto promotes the white nationalist far-right "Great Replacement" conspiracy theory of Renaud Camus, which claims that whites are being subject by elites to genocide through immigration and decreasing white birth rates. The manifesto claims that Jews and the elite are responsible for non-white immigration, that black people disproportionately kill white people, and that non-whites would overwhelm and wipe out the white race. According to the Associated Press, the manifesto "said the attack was intended to terrorize all nonwhite, non-Christian people and get them to leave the country".

Gendron is also reported to have had an account on the chat platform Discord, with the same username as the Twitch user who livestreamed the attack. Thousands of chat logs were retrieved from the account's postings, which were written in the form of an online diary and range from November 2021 to May 13, 2022. The logs include photos of Gendron. Police said that they believe the messages are genuine. They reference a speeding ticket that is consistent with one received by the accused, according to The Washington Post. He "posted to-do list items in preparation for the attack", according to the Daily Intelligencer. The chat logs indicated the attack was originally planned for March 15, on the anniversary of the Christchurch mosque shootings. They contained indications from as early as November 2021 that he planned to livestream a mass shooting targeting black people. He claimed authorship of a post on 4chan from November 9, 2021, that said, "a brenton tarrant event [sic] will happen again soon".

The online diary also had sketches of the layout inside of the Tops supermarket. The diary mentions visits to the supermarket on March 8. During these visits, he notes being challenged by the security guard, calling it a "close call". He also noted the amount of black people and white people in the supermarket during his visits. The author considered an attack in various locations, including a Walmart in Rochester, New York, before finally deciding to target the Tops supermarket in Buffalo instead. Other locations he considered as targets included churches, malls, and elementary schools with mostly black attendees. He also considered synagogues, but decided against it because March 15 was not on a Saturday. He wrote that he used data available through Google to determine the busiest times in the supermarket.

The author of the online diary described himself as socially isolated. He said, "I would like to say I had quite a normal childhood (<18) but that is not the case". He also said, "It's not that I actually dislike other people, it's just that they make me feel so uncomfortable I've probably spent actual years of my life just being online. And to be honest I regret it. I didn't go to friend's houses often or go to any parties or whatever. Every day after school I would just go home and play games and watch youtube, mostly by myself." In another entry, he added "If I could go back maybe I'd tell myself to get the fuck off 4chan ... and get an actual life". At one point in the chat logs, the author describes killing and mutilating a cat.

Gendron was arraigned in the Buffalo City Court, which is a New York State Court. Represented by a public defender, he entered a not guilty plea to multiple charges of first-degree murder. A felony hearing is scheduled to begin on May 19 in front of a grand jury. He is currently being held without bail under suicide watch. On the same day, the Attorney General of the United States Merrick Garland confirmed that the United States Department of Justice was investigating the shooting "as a hate crime and an act of racially-motivated violent extremism"

Astronomical Events June 2022

June 10 - Daytime Arietid Meteor Shower. This meteor shower is active from 14 April to 24 June, producing its peak rate of meteors around 10 June. Over this period, there will be a better chance of seeing meteors whenever the shower's radiant point – in the constellation Aries – is above the horizon. The radiant point may culminate after dawn and so the shower is likely to produce its best displays shortly before dawn. At its peak, the shower is expected to produce a nominal rate of around 50 meteors per hour.

June 14 - Full Moon, Supermoon. The Moon will be located on the opposite side of the Earth as the Sun and its face will be fully illuminated. This is the first of three supermoons for 2022. The Moon will reach perigee, the lowest point of its orbit, on June 15 and may look very slightly larger and brighter than usual.

June 16 - Mercury at Greatest Elongation West. Mercury reaches greatest western elongation of 23.2 degrees from the Sun. This is the best time to view Mercury since it will be at its highest point above the horizon in the morning sky. Look for the planet low in the eastern sky just before sunrise.

June 21 - June Solstice. This event occurs at 09:05 UTC. The North Pole of the earth will be tilted toward the Sun, which will have reached its northernmost position in the sky and will be directly over the Tropic of Cancer at 23.5 degrees north latitude. This is the first day of summer (summer solstice) in the Northern Hemisphere and the first day of winter (winter solstice) in the Southern Hemisphere.

June 21~30 - Planets Parade. Shortly before dawn, a "Planetary Marathon" will be possible. Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus & Neptune will be observable at the same time. Most will be bright enough for the unaided eye while Uranus & Neptune will require an instrument. The Moon will also form multiple conjunctions with the planets over this period. Make sure to plan your observing session to find the best opportunities for your location, as this event lasts for multiple days.

Moon Phases

- First Quarter: 07 June / 14:49 UTC

- Full Moon: 14 June / 11:51 UTC

- Last Quarter: 21 June / 03:11 UTC

- New Moon: 29 June / 02:53 UTC

Clear skies and remember, This is your friend!

Derecho Sweeps Across Midwest An anomalous and historic December derecho—a windstorm associated with an unusually strong and fast-moving line of thunderstorms—swept from the U.S. Southwest to the Upper Midwest on December 15, 2021. High-wind warnings were issued from the Central and Southern High Plains to the Great Lakes, including storm warnings over the Great Lakes. The storm brought hurricane-force winds, dust storms, tornadoes, wildfires, snow squalls, and heavy rain across the middle of the country. Hundreds of thousands of homes and businesses lost electric power, and roughly 100 million Americans were under some type of weather warning that day. The animation above shows the evolution of the storm front and wind field between 6 p.m. Central Time on December 14 (midnight UTC, December 15) and 3 a.m. CT (9:00 UTC) on December 16. The strongest winds appear bright yellow to white; more moderate winds (still gale-force) are shades of orange and bright purple. (35 meters per second equals roughly 80 miles per hour.) Atmospheric data were run through the Goddard Earth Observing System Model-5 (GEOS-5), a data assimilation model that scientists at NASA use to analyze global weather phenomena. The GEOS model ingests wind data from more than 30 sources, including ships, buoys, radiosondes, dropsondes, aircraft, and satellites. The model output is spaced out on a 0.25 to 0.3 degree grid, so it does not necessarily capture peak gusts and extremes as measured by individual instruments on the surface. The natural-color image below was acquired around 2 p.m. CT (20:00 UTC) on December 15 by the Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS) on the NOAA-20 spacecraft. The derecho was spawned by the interaction of a deep-low pressure system over the Northern High Plains and a high-pressure system to the west. This created a tight pressure gradient over the Rocky Mountains that generated fierce winds. The storm generated at least 55 hurricane-force gusts (those exceeding 75 miles per hour), breaking the previous one-day record (since tracking began in 2004). All previous records were set during the summer months. In Colorado, wind gusts exceeded 100 miles (160 kilometers) per hour and dust storms swirled in the southeastern part of the state and in western Kansas. Snow and rain showers, along with at least 20 tornadoes, were reported along the squall line. Meanwhile, ahead of the front, parts of the Southern Plains into the Upper Midwest saw record-breaking warm temperatures. In Wisconsin and Iowa, temperatures reached above 70 degrees Fahrenheit (21° Celsius). The heat and the high winds also prompted extreme fire weather warnings for parts of the Central and Southern Plains, as wildfires broke out in Kansas, Texas, and Oklahoma. NASA Earth Observatory images by Joshua Stevens, using VIIRS data from NASA EOSDIS LANCE, GIBS/Worldview, and the Joint Polar Satellite System (JPSS), and GEOS-5 data from the Global Modeling and Assimilation Office at NASA GSFC.

Russia's Haunted Military Radio Station

In the 1970s the Povarovo Military Base in Russia was a functional, top-secret military facility. Today, the area is abandoned, but somewhere between 1972 and 1973 a strange signal started broadcasting from the base. Anyone could tune in to this frequency if they found the right channel

For decades, though the last decade of the cold war and Russia’s tumultuous post-cold-war era, the station, known as UVB-76, or "The Buzzer", only played a series of repetitive and consistent beeps about a second long each.

However, in 1992, the broadcast changed, as if it were experiencing interference, the tones becoming erratic as they varied in volume, spacing, and pitch, becoming more of a buzz than a beep, and at the top of every hour two buzzes sounded.

Fascinated listeners across the world kept record of these changes. Eventually, another change came when a male voice speaking in Russian could be heard, starting with a call sign before going on to list a series of incomprehensible numbers and words.

These strange broadcasts became a regular occurrence, all starting with the call sign UVB-76 (УВБ-76), however each message was different. These broadcasts happened once every few weeks in an irregular pattern.

On June 5th, 2010, the broadcast stopped and the channel went silent for 24 hours. On June 6th, the broadcasts returned.

This happened again in the middle of August 2010, however this time the broadcast fluctuate for days, turning on and off over and over again.

An example of a broadcast at this time (Augst 23rd) is as follows:

UVB-76, UVB-76. 93 882 NAIMINA 74 14 35 74. 9 3 8 8 2 Nikolai, Anna, Ivan, Mikhail, Ivan, Nikolai, Anna. 7 4 1 4 3 5 7 4

On August 25th, the buzzing stopped again, however the silence that listeners had cautiously become accustomed to was replaced with the sounds of scraping and bumping, as if someone were in the broadcasting room. When the buzzing returned, it was different. The traditional noises were broken up with what listeners hypothesized was bits of Tchaikovsky's Dance of the Little Swans.

At 8:48pm Moscow Standard Time on September 7th, 2010, a male voice started speaking again, listing four names, the letters of which became the new call sign MDZhB (МДЖБ). This was to signify the signal moving from where it had been broadcasting for the last 30 years to hundreds of miles northwest in a Russian city near the boarder of Estonia.

This area is known to be an important position in Russia’s military efforts, and the signal is believed to bounce off three radio towers in a swap surrounded by seemingly abandoned buildings surrounded by fences and walls.

It has been noted that 2010 was a significant year of military reorganization when the Moscow and Leningrad military districts were combined into a new command center in St. Petersburg, near the new transmition site.

Other changes included no longer designating the top of the hour with two buzzes, verbal messages became much more common, and listeners were able to discern patterns of repeated codes.

Sometimes these messages coincided with significant Russian events. In November 2014, 28 different verbal broadcasts were sent out, a record high for the station. During this period, a massive fireball lit up Siberia, and Russia experienced massive wildfire damages. A theory is that the broadcast signal at this time was a warning of the impending natural disaster.

In 2020, the number of messages has increased, along with a number of other strange occurrences:

From Wikipedia:

On May 15, 2020, The Buzzer was interrupted by a third-party transmission, likely sent by French fishermen.

On the same day, about four hours later, The Buzzer began playing Russian music.

On May 17, 2020, UVB-76 (a.k.a. "The Buzzer") was interrupted again by a short third-party transmission. It is suspected to have been sent by the same French fishermen as on May 15, 2020.

On May 30, 2020, at about 20:00 UTC, music was heard on The Buzzer's frequency.

On June 9, 2020, two events could be witnessed. At 20:03 UTC, the buzzing generator of UVB-76 broke down; the buzzing continued only a few seconds later. Another anomaly happened at around 21:00 UTC, multiple transmission of morse code (of unknown origin) were heard.

On June 16, 2020, the buzzer stopped at 20:40 UTC for unknown reasons. It returned about one hour later at 21:40 UTC.

On July 15, 2020 a Voice message of unknown origin was heard on 4624.2 kHz, just below the Buzzers frequency. The message didn't come from UVB-67 itself because the buzzing didn’t stop. The message was in English and contained only numbers, no letters. The only word that appeared in the message was “Attention”.

On August 16, 2020, from 17:26 UTC to 01:50 UTC, on the buzzer frequency, with occasional moments of pause, there was some music playing and some carrier tones. During the strange occurance, the buzzer marker never stopped, suggesting a third-party origin, possibly from someone who wanted to disturb the buzzer.

There are many theories about the UVB-76/MDZhB radio station including coded military messages, communications from outer space, emitting a “dead hand” signal that if stopped will trigger nuclear missiles to be deployed, and more, however no one has claimed the broadcast from these seemingly abandoned areas.

I have my concerns about MHY moving up events, and I’ve rambled about it at length. But with the A Faerie’s Dream Event, I’m wondering how much of MHY’s player base were driven off of Tears of Themis in the past 5 - 6 months?

While the Google Play Store doesn’t really give exact numbers for downloads, it shows that over 1 Million people downloaded Tears of Themis. Since MHY is asking players to share a link for 3 people to return back to Stellis for the A Faerie’s Dream event, that would mean that there’s a lot of people that were driven off the app, right?

For example, if only 300,000 people play Tears of Themis on the Google Play Store now, and each player successfully gets 3 people to return to Stellis, then that would bring up the player base up to 900,000, right? (Still a far cry from the 1M+ people who downloaded the app on Google Play. Idk what the numbers are for the Apple Store.)

But also, this also seems to suggest that there’s a big gap between who’s playing now and who dropped the game a while ago. It really does seem like the people who are engaged with Tears of Themis right now are in the minority, compared to the amount of players MHY had at the beginning when the game came out. Every game has its drop off period, but I’m kinda at a loss here.

Not to mention, MHY put all these guidelines in for who counts as a “returning attorney.”

Have an account registered before December 14, 2021 11:59PM (UTC +9)

Have not logged into the game for 15 days

Completed the Main Story Level 01-13 (Chapter 1)

Account Level is 10+

Have not activated Returner Tasks for 30 days or more.

That’s also another thing. All of these tasks seem easy enough, but I do wonder how many people picked up the game and didn’t even bother with the Main Story due to the nonstop events?

Not to mention, it seems like MHY is targeting players who haven’t logged in for a month or more... isn’t that around the time Luke’s B-day started, RRG Part 1 dropped as well as the Symphony of the Night, and the Pumpkin event? (Not all of these events started in November, but all of them ended in November.)

Idk. Just me thinking out loud. Is it just me who finds this event odd?

I hate that I'm still vibing on a level that I can see when I'm getting spicy based on the waves. As fun as it is to keep experimenting around, I've opted for grounding meditations for the next few days so I'm not still in resonant mode, but today was the first one that neither I nor the Global Consciousness Project crashed asleep or into blue at the end of my normal shift. I still opted to meditate/nap just for rest catchup but it wasn't falling out at my computer with a freefall meter.

It actually briefly fell earlier, bounced back and stayed mostly midrange since.

Schumann Resonance Today 18/4 17:00 The strong activity started yesterday at 14 UTC ended today at 05 UTC, since 17 UTC yesterday the amplitude has remained constantly between Power 15 and 20 and today’s maximum value also occurred during this long period and was Power 21 at 00:30 UTC. Since 5 UTC this morning there have been isolated peaks, Power 16 at 09:40 UTC and Power 12 twice between 15 and 16 UTC.

Schumann Resonance 17/4 17:00 Another phase of strong activity began just before 14 UTC, the Primary Frequency had already fallen to values close to the minimum but since it was the only one, there were mainly moderate peaks of the Quality; the situation changed, as mentioned, around 14 UTC when the remaining frequencies also had a rapid descent. This condition immediately led to a strong peak of the amplitude which shortly after 14 UTC reached the maximum value of today, so far, at Power 71. Given the persistence of the frequencies at minimum values, a new movement brought the amplitude to Power 56 at 15:40 UTC.

Schumann Resonance 6/4 17:00 Since 14 UTC yesterday almost all the frequencies have returned above the base value and the amplitude movements have reduced to values around Power 10, this with the exception of the period between 05 and 07 UTC when the frequencies recorded a sudden drop leading to movements of the amplitude that reached the maximum peak of Power 22 at 6 UTC.

Schumann Resonance 15/4 17:00 Yesterday didn’t end with just Power 72! With the frequencies always remaining very low, until 13 UTC today, the Amplitude peaks were constantly around Power 20 as a minimum value. Between 18 and 19 UTC there was a very strong phase, first Power 91 at 18 UTC and shortly after, at 18:30, the maximum of Power 96. Significant peaks followed one another until 11 UTC this morning when the frequencies have risen towards the base values, bringing the amplitude movements to calm. As for today, the maximum has been Power 78 shortly before 09 UT

Experts watch in horror as 2 dead satellites are on track for a potential collision

Experts watch in horror as 2 dead satellites are on track for a potential collision

For the second time this year, experts can only watch and wait as two large objects close in on a potential collision course in low-Earth orbit.

According to space debris tracking service LeoLabs, an old, discarded Chinese rocket stage and a defunct Russian military satellite are due to pass within 12 metres (40 feet) of each other on 16 October 2020 at 00:56 UTC.

There is, LeoLabs says, a greater than 10 percent chance that the two objects will collide at an altitude of 991 kilometres (616 miles) over the Weddell Sea just off the Antarctic Peninsula.

We are monitoring a very high risk conjunction between two large defunct objects in LEO. Multiple data points show miss distance <25m and Pc between 1% and 20%. Combined mass of both objects is ~2,800kg.

Object 1: 19826 Object 2: 36123 TCA: Oct 16 00:56UTC Event altitude: 991km pic.twitter.com/6yWDx7bziw

— LeoLabs, Inc. (@LeoLabs_Space) October 13, 2020

“This is probably one of the potentially worst accidental collisions that we’ve seen for a while,” space archaeologist Alice Gorman of Flinders University in Australia told ScienceAlert.

The two objects are substantial, with a combined mass of about 2,800 kilograms (6,170 pounds), travelling in opposite directions with a relative velocity of 14.7 kilometres per second (9.1 miles per second). The rocket stage is part of a Long March 4B rocket launched on 10 May 1999; after it safely transported its payload, the stage was discarded, as has been normal procedure for decades.

The satellite is a Russian Parus military satellite weighing about 825 kilograms (1,820 pounds), launched on 22 February 1989, and previously used for communication and navigation. It’s no longer operational. So neither object can be communicated with or manoeuvred to avoid a smash-up.

1/ This event continues to be very high risk and will likely stay this way through the time of closest approach. Our system generates new conjunction reports 6-8x per day on this event with new observation data each time. pic.twitter.com/d3tRbcV2P0

— LeoLabs, Inc. (@LeoLabs_Space) October 14, 2020

It’s similar to a situation earlier in the year, in which two old satellites were projected to pass within 15 to 30 metres of each other, with a one in 100 chance of collision. They later sailed harmlessly by each other like ships in the night.

In that close approach, as well as this, the chance of collision is complicated by the shape of the spacecraft. The Parus satellite has a 17-metre (56-foot) boom that could easily close the projected gap between them. But the worst case scenario would be if the two bodies collide.

There’s no risk to us here on Earth, even if the potential collision would be taking place over a densely populated region. The concern is that the two objects would create a shower of small debris. This would burn up on atmospheric entry – but it’s more likely to hang around in low-Earth orbit creating hazards for other objects up there.

“Last year, when India performed an anti-satellite test, that created about 400 cases of trackable debris. So we’d be looking at at least that number. And then of course, there’s all the small bits which aren’t trackable,” Gorman said.

“We’re not yet in a position where we can actively remove any debris like this. So it’ll be up there for a while. And because of the altitude of about 1,000 kilometres, this stuff isn’t going to reenter within a matter of weeks or months. Some of it is likely to be up there for quite some time.”

While the rate of collisions is currently quite small – in the last 10 years, they constituted just 0.83 percent of all fragmentation events in low-Earth orbit – the concern is that more serious collisions will take us rapidly down the path to Kessler Syndrome.

This was predicted by former NASA astrophysicist Donald Kessler in 1978, and it states that, with enough junk and debris in space, eventually there will be a runaway collision cascade. One collision will create hundreds or thousands of pieces of junk that will go on to collide with others, until near-Earth space is basically unusable.

“We’re not yet at that Kessler Syndrome point. But how much closer in time does this bring us to that point?” Gorman said.

“We’ll have a sudden injection of a large amount of debris that was unpredicted. And this means there’s a likelihood of other things colliding with those pieces of debris. It just makes the situation a bit more complicated.”

2/ Current risk metrics from our most recent CDMs: Miss distance: 12 meters (+18/-12 meters) Probability of Collision: >10%, scaled to account for large object sizes Relative velocity: 14.7 km/s pic.twitter.com/y44QXyhHJK

— LeoLabs, Inc. (@LeoLabs_Space) October 14, 2020

This, of course, is the worst case scenario; according to LeoLabs’ probability calculations it’s not likely here. But even if the two objects miss each other, it’s only a matter of time before something big does collide in near-Earth space, and we don’t currently have the ability to stop it.

This event is a grim reminder that the space debris problem, if left to its own devices, is only going to get worse. The good news is that space agencies are working towards solutions. By far the biggest generator of space debris is explosions in orbit caused by leftover fuel and batteries; space agencies and aerospace engineering companies are starting to incorporate end-of-mission planning such as defuelling in orbit to minimise those risks.

And new technologies, such as automated collision avoidance manoeuvring and space junk collection, are in the works. So we just have to hope we can continue to avoid large collisions until we have some better space junk mitigation techniques.

“My feeling about this is probably it’s not going to happen, just to be optimistic. But we’ll have to wait,” Gorman told ScienceAlert. “Let’s keep our fingers crossed.”

LeoLabs is continuing to monitor the situation. You can follow its reports on Twitter.

4. Intentionally left blank

5. General Rules 5.1. All transmitters, receivers, and amplifiers must be within a single 500-meter diameter circle. Antennas must be physically connected by RF transmission lines to the transmitters and receivers, except as described in 5.1.5.

5.1.1. Remote operation is permitted if the physical location of all transmitters, receivers, and antennas are at one station location as described in 5.1. A remotely operated station must obey all station license, operator license, and category limitations. The call sign used must be one issued or permitted by the Regulatory Authority of the station location.

5.1.2. The use of QSO finding assistance (DX cluster, CW Skimmer etc) is allowed for all entries.

5.1.3. The use of any calls other than participant’s for any reason including keeping the run frequency on any band, making schedules, DX-spotting, moving the multipliers is prohibited.

5.1.4. Self-spotting or soliciting contacts by any means other than amateur radio is prohibited.

5.1.5. The use of one and only one remote receiver located within 25 kilometers of the main transmitter site is permitted, in addition to the receiver at the transmitter site is allowed for all entries.

5.1.6. The use of any remote receivers other than described in 5.1.5 are prohibited. Violators will be subject to disqualification.

5.2. Single Operator participants may change bands and modes without restrictions. Only one signal can be transmitted at any given time.

5.2.1. Single Operator categories: one person (the operator) performs all operating, logging and spotting functions. Any assistance will result in reclassification into the Multi Operator category or disqualification at the discretion of the contest committee.

5.3. MOST stations are subject to a 10 minutes band change rule. Mode change within current band is allowed without limitations.

5.3.1. Start time is determined by the time of the first QSO made on the band. The band may be changed after 10 full minutes have elapsed.

5.3.2. Only one signal can be transmitted at any given time. Exception: two signals on two different bands are allowed if (and only if) the station on another (and only one) “multiplier” band works a new multiplier.

5.3.3. The “multiplier” transmitter is subject to its own 10 minute rule for band changes as described in 5.3.1.

5.3.4. Contacts which violate band change rules, should be clearly marked in the log with an X-QSO: key (as per 11.11 ). They will neither be counted nor penalized for an entrant, but will be counted for the station contacted.

5.3.5. Tampering with the QSO time to comply with the 10 minute rule (“rubber clocking”) will result in disqualification.

5.4. MO2T (Multi Op, Two transmitters): A maximum of two transmitted signals at any time on different bands. Each transmitter may make a maximum of 8 band changes in any clock hour (00 through 59 minutes). For example, a change from 40 meters to 80 meters and then back to 40 meters constitutes two band changes. Both transmitters may work any and all stations. A station may be worked twice per band (CW and SSB) regardless of which transmitter is used.

5.5. MM (Multi Op, Multi transmitters): A maximum of six transmitted signals, one per band at any one time. All equipment (transmitters, receivers, amplifiers, antennas, etc.) must be located in same DXCC entity, including remotely controlled equipment. Six bands may be activated simultaneously. Use a separate serial number sequence for each band. Limits in 5.1 do not apply.

5.6. All MIXED categories entrants can work the same station twice per band (CW and SSB).

6. Exchange: 6.1. Non-Russian stations: signal report + QSO number, starting with 001.

6.2. Multioperator (MOST, MO2T, MM) may alternativley use separate serial numbers for each band.

6.3. Russian stations: signal report + oblast code as per attached list.

7. QSO Points. 7.1. Russian stations:

QSO with your own country (Russia on your continent) – 2 points,

QSO with Russia on another continent – 5 points,

QSO with a different country on your continent – 3 points,

QSO with another continent – 5 points.

7.2. Non-Russian stations:

QSO with Russian station – 10 points,

QSO with your own country – 2 points,

QSO with a different country on your continent – 3 points,

QSO with another continent – 5 points.

7.3. Kaliningrad (UA2F), Franz Josef Land (RI1FJ) and Russian Antarctic stations (RI1AN) each count as a separate DXCC entity and a separate Oblast (double multiplier) with Kaliningrad counts as European Russia for scoring purposes.

7.4. Maritime mobile (“/MM”) stations do not count as multipliers and score 5 points for all participants.

7.5. SWL points are calculated along the same principles as described in 7.1 and 7.2.

8. Dupes 8.1. Dupes are contacts made with the same station on the same band and mode. If the first contact between stations is valid, dupes have 0 points value. If the first contact is not valid, then second (dupe) contact is accepted.

8.2. Dupe contacts are not penalized; they do not have to be marked in the log. All entrants are strongly recommended to leave DUPES in the log.

9. Multipliers There are two types of multipliers:

One multiplier for each different oblast contacted on each band, including UA2F, RI1FJ and RI1AN as per 7.3.

One multiplier for each different country (DXCC entity list + WAE multipliers list) contacted on each band.

10. Final Score 10.1. The final score is the result of the total QSO points multiplied by the sum of oblast and country multipliers.

11. General Log Submission Requirements 11.1. Logs are accepted in CABRILLO file format only.

11.2. Filename of your log should be yourcall.log or .cbr. Example: UA1AAA.log.

11.3. If a competitor claims two separate bands in the SOSB category (as per 3.1 ) these two bands should be clearly marked. Example: CATEGORY-BAND: 10m, 15m.

11.4. Russian stations will include their RDA in the LOCATION: field.

11.5. Web upload is the only method of log submission. Web upload of logs is available at: http://www.rdxc.org/asp/pages/wwwlog.asp.

11.6. All QSO times must be in UTC.

11.7. All sent and received exchanges must be clearly shown in the log.

11.8. The header of the electronic log must specify entry category and your full mailing address to receive the awards.

11.9. Multioperator logs (MOST and MO2T) must identify which transmitter made each QSO. For MOST entries RUN =0, MULT =1. For MO2T entries RUN1 = 0, RUN2 = 1. Alternative identifcation is not allowed. The logs without such identification will be reclassified to Check Log.

11.10. Logs aiming for the top 3 position in any contest category (excluding SWL entry) must indicate the frequency of every QSO made (using transceiver CAT) with a minimum resolution of 1 kHz.

11.11 Any QSO marked with the key X-QSO: will be ignored in your log and credit will be given to the other station.
