Today on 12 October 2022 (MJD 59864.627) we have carried out the
observation of the Swift J1913.1+1946, probably the candidate gamma-ray
burst GRB 221009A. We have detected the fluxes from a point source
with the known coordinates: 5+/-2, 36+/-8, 20 +/- 8 mJy at 4.7, 8.2,
and 11.2 GHz respectively. Data is preliminary and will be confirmed
after repeated measurements on 14 October and after. The spectra of the
previous multi-frequency measurements with AMI-LA (ATel #15653) and ATA
(ATel #15655) and today ones with RATAN (after ~2.5 days) are generally
similar (see the plot), probably remaining optically thick at frequencies
lower than 8-10 GHz.
