Original Message Thought some of you would be interested in this development:

The Russian station " UVB-76 " has stopped its transmission and is now dead silent. Apperantly it stopped two - three days ago. It has known to have been recording since 1982 24/7.

The stations broadcasts a buzzer signal 24/7 and is rarely (extremely rare) interrupted - when it is interuptted Russian voices have been heard in the background although this has only been recorded four times.

The station itself is about 40 KM northwest of Moscow and it is still unknown to this day as to why it plays this tone, there have been of course many theories including the broadcast being a dead man's switch / dead hand system.

Wikipedia has more detailed information on the station itself: [link to en.wikipedia.org]

To listen to the broadcast: [link to www.youtube.com]

I havn't checked up on it since and have not had the time to post this - most likely it has no meaning and is nothing to even look into or care about and may have even be maintinance etcetera but either way I thought it was worth posting.
