Mysterious Russian Radio Station Goes Offline

Mysterious Russian Radio Station Goes Offline - Has Been Transmitting Since Early '80s

The mysterious russian shortwave radio "UWB-76", also known as "The Buzzer"...

...just stopped transmission. This is huge, considering there has been almost NO interruption since 1982. It even survived the cold war.

Above link explains the actual radio signal...

Supposedly a dead man's switch, or the NWO's transmission station...

Maybe they changed from analog to digital.

huge thread about these stations on another forum. Intruiging that it just shut down. Alot of them are very creepy. It's the sort of stuff that would keep me awake at night!

If you think the video is creepy the noise makes it worse!

There is one with a little german girl reading out numbers at random. Some of the scariest stuff I've ever experienced!

whats the purpose of any of these stations? I dont know anything about them.

squeakyduck

They were used to send messages to spies and they had a special machine at decoding it. But every broadcast was different.

I'd hate to be a spy listening to all this stuff all day. I'd be paranoid all the time!

Jebus! dont post stuff like that without a warning haha.
One of the youtube comments made me laugh alot!
"Fcuk it i didnt intend to sleep anyway"

Its not scary for me only for the fact that it might contain subliminals which i ussually avert my eyes from lol

Zombienosh

that is ****ed, reminded me of the ring!

I don't know wheter there is some strange story behind these radio stations but it could be turned into an excellent film?

The video is really cool. This is the Sweedish Rhapsody, it's my favourite one. I couldn't think of the name earlier.

It's strange that they used the voice of a little German girl though. Especially since most of these transmissions are scrammed noise based.

It does get a little wierd/scary at the end! (Just a warning to you kids I did scare!)

Ye it could be turned into a film.Especially a big hollywood one if they want to cover up what happened

After all i get told ALOT by some people on this forum that i am being ridiculous because they saw that in a fictional movie.
The suggestion they went to digital was funny but possibly partly true lol

These things seriously freaky me out.

Ever since my first taste of what a number station sounded like:

Wilco and The Besnard Lakes have both used bits of the signals for songs too.

Interesting stuff. And f*cking brilliant songs.

Oooo, thanks for the tip!

Ive only listened to The Bernard Lakes for a few minutes and they sound great, like a modern day pink floyd.

Will check out Wilco too,

Sorry for derailing the thread, relevant replies may proceed..........:p

highlydebased

Just copied this from a mailing list I'm on

"S28 (the official ENIGMA designator for UVB-76 or "the buzzer") is still there on 4625/4667 kHz at 2230 UTC on June 6 (Sun) with unchanged strong signal here in good old Germany, Europe.

73"

Two of the songs with the number signals:

Just out of interest. The Besnard Lakes have used Number Signal samples a few times. The Wilco one is notable though - the sample comes from The Conet Project, a reasonably well known compilation of recordings of shortwave Number Signals. The company that made the compilation sued over copyright, but since, technically, the "owners" of the original signals weren't known, I'm not sure their claim could have held up. In any event, the band settled out of court before it was tested. The album is named after the sample used - Yankee Hotel Foxtrot, from the NATO phonetic alphabet.

Carry on.

More info on them here , the Conet Project is not something you want to be listening to late at night though.

Very unsettling that The Buzzer went offline

The purpose of the stations is pretty much unknown, but there's a few theories, one is that they are a 'Dead Man's Hand'... if they stop transmitting, then something bad has occurred.

Another is that they are spy stations, and, when used with a one-time pad, transmit messages.

Another is that they are used to calibrate military listening equipment, like huge curtain antennas, (like the Russian Woodpecker)that usually can pick up sounds that are below what most radio equipment can, or might be mistaken for noise, and can apparently hear halfway around the globe if needed. So these need to be kept primed and calibrated, and that's what number stations are for.

Swedish Rhapsody? There's an ice-cream van here that plays that.
Put me off icecream.

This is where the Buzzer apparently broadcasts from.

UVB-76 station

what are those circles?

Ratzo Rizzo

4.625 and 4.667 MHz are both audible here in Co. Tipperary now (1955L).
Also some voice comms on 4.645.35 USB which sounds like they are being intentionally jammed.

Reminds me of The Ring too! Could be a film in this ...

But man, this is some freaky-sheeeet alright! ... It's kinda surreal though how well it translates into music too ... Maybe that's it? What if it's some old Cold War mind-fukc psyops what's been left running and warped itself into an art-form. Like maybe some soviet spark had the idea to just pump out random messages which mean absolutely nothing. Spy networks on all sides were continually second-guessing themselves anyway, still are ... maybe it began as an attempt to confuse and distract, and further squander resources ...
