From the Editors
A happy new year to all our readers, and welcome to Volume 4 of the FRB Newsletter. The year has already started with a bang, with exciting results presented at the 241st Meeting of the American Astronomical Society in Seattle, including a slew of new FRBs localized with the DSA-110 instrument. We look forward to bringing you those papers and other FRB news items as they become available, and we welcome your tips and submissions by email.

From the Astronomer's Telegram
- In a revision to ATel 15783, the UTMOST-NS team reports (ATel 15865) that FRB20221128A was actually detected in a sidelobe, and therefore had a much higher intrinsic fluence of 1000 +- 250 Jy-ms at a DM of 506.3 pc/cc, making it one of the brighter FRBs detected to date. The position is revised by a degree in Dec.
