Has anyone else been following the developments with the Russian number station UVB-76?
For the unfamiliar, UVB-76 is the callsign of a shortwave radio station on 4625 kHz. From 1982 up until a few days ago it broadcast a mechanical sounding buzzing noise about 27 times a minute. On a handful of occasions over that 28 year period, a short voice message was broadcast in the form of a few numbers and several letters spoken in the Russian phonetic alphabet (Anna, Boris, Dimitri, etc). A week or so ago the buzzing stopped. It came back several days later with a stronger signal than had ever been observed, but then disappeared again a few hours later. Since then there have been a handful more voice transmissions, although some of them might be third parties (radio pirates) just looking to pull a prank.
Anyway I've been listening to streaming feeds from radios that can pick it up and there have been all sorts of weird things being broadcast; conspiracy theories running rampant and the like.
Is this too obscure an interest for anyone else here to be familiar with it?
