Mysterious Radio Station UVB-76 Goes Offline

Posted by timothy on from the fired-that-dj dept.

leathered writes "Tinfoil hatters around the world are abuzz that UVB-76, the Russian shortwave radio station that has been broadcasting its monotonous tone almost uninterrupted since 1982, has suddenly gone offline. Of course no one knows what the significance of this is, but best brush up on your drills just in case."

    Plenty of freaky shortwave left...
