New radio vs The Buzzer - UVB-76

[ihatecrazyfrog]

It's stopped right now 01:45am GMT 8TH November Also i heard voices and music 2 nights ago on it

@DanielChristy19 Yes I noticed. But translations are quite rare given the fact that it is constantly under watch. These type of the broadcasts are made live from existing sound samples, probably. A year ago when I was interested in this, I'd found somewhere explanation of thoose cryptic messages, by former Soviet military radio engineer (now Lithuanian Radio and TV employee). Thought I can't recall his name, he wrote that these messages were to test readiness of operators. (Not only in UVB76)

IT JUST STOPED !! OMG

[badnewswade]

Apparently if it ever stops, that means that the Russians are about to launch all their nuclear missiles!

@badnewswade It stopped 3 times already in 1997 2002 and 2006. But then happened something strange: messages were sent 1996: "Ya — UVB-76. 18008. BROMAL: Boris, Roman, Olga, Mikhail, Anna, Larisa. 742, 799, 14." 2002: "UVB-76, UVB-76. 62691 Izafet 3693 8270."

2006: "75-59-75-59. 39-52-53-58. 5-5-2-5. Konstantin-1-9-0-9-0-8-9-8-Tat­iana-Oksana-Anna-Elena-Pavel-S­chuka. Konstantin 8-4. 9-7-5-5-9-Tatiana. Anna Larisa Uliyana-9-4-1-4-3-4-8."

True, though it's already stopped several times. It was intended to be a Dead Man's Hand in case the shit hit the fan and they couldn't confirm manually in time.

There is quite a bit of confusion about the role of UVB-76. It certainly could function as a very decent channel marker for a rarely used channel. It is also quite useful (from a Dx-er's point of view) as a propagation beacon. As anything else though, I worry that it could be easily 'spoofed' - i.e. a copycat signal could make it very unreliable as a dead man's hand.

[Mynameisnotooo]

i have no clue what you're talking about except that it can be hijacked or something meaning that if the shit hit the fan then the fan wont hit the shit back

[LCduT]

Precisely. Anyone can copy the signal. So the dead man's hand could come alive again!

I am monitoring this frequency here Central Coast of California; unfortunately

I don't receive "Buzzer". I observe Radio

China Co-channel with Possibe Morse

Code Numbers Station. Pure speculation

at this point, but maybe M40 N.Korea. Conditions will need to improve for verification but two mornings in a row suggests this. Commemerative Transmission?

Observe V24 and M94 S. Korea on 5715 KHz and 6215KHz frequently here mornings. Proper trajectory and Seawater

circuit make possible.
