UVB-76 is a known, mysterious, shortwave number station, regarded as a 'ghost station' for it's near constant stand-by transmission. It's more known as the 'Buzzer' because of it's unique transmission, still broadcasting to this day on 4625 kHz.

The radio station broadcasts a transmission in the form of 'buzzes', compromising the frequency with it for nearly every second in a very similiar pattern. This has been occuring ever since it's discovery in roughly 1973. Ever since that year, it only spiked in popularity due to theories developed around it. The most popular one, so to solve the mystery of it's existance, is a quite logical one. The theory states that the station is a guidance transmission for soviet nuclear warheads, acting as a warning signal in the case of bombardment or a conflict occuring.

The only disturbances that added to it's mystery were pieces of old music being transmitted on the frequency by whoever was managing it, and most noteably the encrypted messages under some form of code. They were generally short, transmitting for a length of 1-2 minutes and could be missed out on quite easily. Even after the CCCP's collapse, the station continued broadcast without any changes to it's previous state.

During the 7 hour war however, the station began to show a change to it's usual behaviour. It began to transmit high pitched, fast paced samples of the previously used buzzing sound, comparable to an alarm. This continued steady broadcast for the entirety of the war. When the combine took triumph however, the station resumed it's previous buzzing pattern without a moment's notice, continuing with this for the following year without any recorded interventions.

After a year of the combine's rule being in effect however, a message that was caught on complete accident came through the frequency: (eng.) "Red sun, no end in sight. Kuzmich, Roman, Aleksander. 3 4 4 22 1 1. Halt progress."

The message itself is practically similar to the previous transmissions of the sort, however with a darker, more understandable tone. It was put on repeat for several hours, before being forced to resume it's usual broadcasting pattern. Anyone with a strong enough receiver can catch the station's broadcast.​

This would be a nice point of interest to add on the map. As for what one would find at the source I don't know, maybe nothing, maybe just some old building, no idea. But it does add another interesting POI on the map. Don't really have much else to say other than good job.

Hang on. I've re-read this and there appears to be mistakes in most of the document. Some of it appears unfinished in its current form.

Please re-check and make sure the post is fixed up. I'll then make sure that any and all grammatical errors are appropriately repaired along with the sentence structuring and / or formatting.

Thanks.

I tried to fix this one again, and updated the lore on it quite alot to differ from the previous version. Hope this brings alot more structure into play.

Brilliant. Much better than what it was beforehand.
