       | I was watching UVB leading up to the war, it was pretty mundane,
       | up to where people in the Estonia / Latvia / Lithuania / Belarus
       | corridor started jamming the channel with music or drawing
       | pictures on the SDR heatmaps.
       | 
       | Eg: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QWFg3i2dNK4
       | 
       | After that it devolved into a popularity contest over who had the
       | strongest transmitter or was geographically closest to SDR
       | recievers.
       | 
       | Then kiwisdr got ticked off and stopped letting people do time
       | domain reflectometry to triangulate the signals.
       | 
       | My bets are on this new signal being a troll.

           | (at the time) people couldn't use it anymore.
           | 
           | There are other ways to triangulate signals, but that means
           | buying receivers and putting feet on the ground.
