We report about the growing fluxes of the quasar S5 1044+71, identified with the FERMI source 2FGL J1048.3+714, since detection of the high state in the rest of January 2014 (ATEL #5792). We continue measurements and again detect the increase of the flux densities at frequencies 8.2-21.7 GHz in February. Measured flux densities (with errors) with the RATAN-600 radio telescope at frequencies 4.8-21.7 GHz are given the the table:

The former flat spectrum evolved to inverted spectra with spectral index equal to +0.5. Updated spectra with the WMAP and PLANCK fluxes points:
