Yes, I hope your family stay safe, Grindy. I'm afraid this is a terrible time for Ukrainians.
Late in the day, I'm beginning to see what beautiful old buildings there are in Ukraine, thanks to this meme sent by the US ambassador in Kyviv in response to Putin's nonsensical historical justification for his invasion:-

Anyway, good to hear from you, Grindy. I hope everything works out for you and your family. Yeah, I guess Iceland could be an option as I too fear nuclear war being a possibility, probably for the first time in my life. |

Glad you're ok grindy. I hope things will work out for your family, and for Ukraine of course.
Cuthbert also asked about you, btw. He'll be happy to know you're safe.

Best of hopes and wishes to you and your family, grindy.
We know both russians and ukranians in Norway. I'm thankful our russian friends have all condemned the war. I'm guessing refugees may be coming to our town at some point. I work for the municipality and last time there was a refugee crisis, I reset and handed out lots of old computers from treatment plants, offices, public schools. It was good, but I was mostly working on my own. If needed, I'm hoping my workplace will do more to coordinate support efforts that aren't strictly work related this time around and that other businesses will too.

I've been monitoring wide-band radio and there were some reports that didn't seem believable, but pointed to the BBC for more info, so I went there and, apparently Russia wanted to get this whole thing done much quicker, but they are meeting up with forceful Ukrainians. and I'm seeing that the city of Kiev is getting ready for an enormous onslaught that is supposed to happen within the next hour or so. From the BBC live coverage:

Moments like these make me wish I was the slightest bit religious so that I could say "God be with the people of Kyiv" and have it bare weight. There isn't a good agnostic way of saying "thoughts and prayers".
Honestly, my heart breaks for that city and I hope they give the Russians hell. |

I saw reports that thermobaric rockets have been seen in the area. I hope Ukrainians give those ****ers hell but I think this is going to be absolutely horrific very soon.
On a lighter note these two are adorable. Ukraine couple marry under fire then join fight to defend country hours after wedding

Go here and go to chatbox and click on various frequency links that they post.
Use your sense when it comes to some things said or heard. 5125khz seems to be interesting, but check around on others too. Play with the controls. There are over 2000 users there now - usually it's less than a hundred, so you may not get in right now: http://websdr.ewi.utwente.nl:8901/ |
