Russia - Residents of Chukotka warned of problems due to solar interference

Russia (bbabo.net) - Spring interference will begin in the Chukotka Autonomous Okrug on February 21 and will last until March 13, according to the website of the government of the Autonomous Okrug.

Because of this, interruptions in the on-air television and radio broadcasting are possible. They do not last long - from a few seconds to 10 minutes.

- At such a time, one cannot exclude the periodic short-term "freezing" of the picture, disintegration into pixels, complete disappearance. The location of the Sun in a direct line with a communications satellite and an earthly receiving station lasts several minutes, then the communications satellite leaves the "solar illumination," the Far Eastern RC branch of the RTRS reported.

The interference period in the Chukotka Autonomous Okrug will last from February 21 to March 13 from 16:05 to 17:20 local time.

Interference is the situation when the Sun is exactly behind the communication satellites. Solar interference occurs twice a year - in spring and autumn.
