What’s new: An interesting look at one of the devices in Kaliningrad that is being used to cause so much trouble.
Why it’s important: Well, more interesting than important, maybe. The impacts of using this thing are important. And they are well known and being felt every day.
What else to know:
- From the photo it looks like at least some of the transmitting antennas are directional. This reinforces conclusions that Russia is interfering with GPS in many locations just because it can.
- There are lots of directional antennas. There might be enough to interfere in all directions from that site.
- This May 2024 item is from a Danish news site that includes a tab for the story in English. So don’t get discouraged if you don’t read Danish. Just use the tab.
Thanks to member Rasmus Flytkjaer for bringing this item to our attention.
Happy New Year to all!
