whatever it is has probably been replaced by digital

it is assumed that it was a spy communicator in which i do not believe

sites.google.com...


Location and function The station's transmitter is located at Povarovo, Russia (56°4′58″N 37°5′22″E / 56.08278°N 37.08944°E / 56.08278; 37.08944), which is about halfway between Zelenograd and Solnechnogorsk and 40 kilometres (25 mi) northwest of Moscow, near the village of Lozhki. The location and callsign were unknown until the first voice broadcast of 1997. Its purpose is unknown. One website claims the station is meant to "Transmit orders to the military units and recruitment centers of the Moscow military district." This is unconfirmed, and unlikely considering the station transmitted the simple buzz tone for at least 15 years before any words or numbers were broadcast. Because of the nature of the broadcast and the fact that its transmitter location is rumored to be a communications hub of the General Staff of the army, UVB-76 is widely believed to be used to transmit encoded messages to spies, as is generally assumed for the many numbers stations that populate shortwave frequencies. Transmitter sites for some numbers stations have been triangulated to military and/or intelligence installations in several countries, although no nation's government will confirm or deny the existence of the stations or their purpose. Another possibility is that the constant transmission of its characteristic sound is supposed to signal the availability, operation or alertness of some kind of installation, a kind of dead man's switch of a military or other installation, possibly for the Dead Hand system. As of January 17, 2010 at the latest many available map viewing services that provide satellite imagery have the UVB-76 station darkened or removed entirely. Of interest to note is the fact that seemingly unrelated buildings in close proximity are also blacked out.

Do we have an actual source that can verify it is not transmitting?

where is phage when u need him!


I, too, have heard of the woodpecker signal, but not the buzzer. I will look more into this.

please, although interesting topic, ATSers, need to stop calling for Phage for everything. I personally find his answers arrogant, like a know it all, not someone trying to share information and enlighten others. While most of his answers are good, people need to find out about stuff on their own, and stop calling for mommy.

To phage, no offense. Im not calling your arrogant, you answer so many things, I would probably start answering the same as you LOL..

I know ist not a great source, but there are a lot of comments on youtube videos of the buzzer, that are looking for confirmation that its not transmitting anymore as well.

If anybody out here listens to these frequencies, maybe they could find out?

I googled to see if I can find the frequency but apparently I just don't know what I am doing. I haven't had a shortwave radio since before I was married. Threw it out because a cat peed on it (long story). I'll dig around some more then.
