UVB-76 Broadcasts New Voice Message
Doug52392 writes "Following days of increased activity, the Russian numbers station UVB-76 has sent out a new voice transmission. The transmission, sent out on August 23, 2010 at 9:35AM PST, recited the following in Russian: 'UVB-76, UVB-76 — 93 882 naimina 74 14 35 74 — 9 3 8 8 2 nikolai, anna, ivan, michail, ivan, nikolai, anna, 7, 4, 1, 4, 3, 5, 7, 4' The station, believed to be a part of the former Soviet Union's dead man's switch system, has been continually broadcasting for over twenty years, and its purpose has never been fully explained."
I've got the same combination on my luggage!
Just to let you know, a short message like this can have a LOT of meaning for spies and such that are using things like "one time pads". Also keep in mind, there was just recently a bunch of spies found in the USA that were russian. I am sure that there is still more lurking around. All of the recent activity on UVB-76 would be easy to assume that this is sort of a communications hub for the covert spies in other countries. I have listened to UVB-76 a lot recently and have recorded some strange stuff on it including data transmissions and morse code. I uploaded the sound files to a torrent that can be found here at http://tinyurl.com/uvb76 Take a listen if you'd like. I'm listening to UVB-76 at this moment and there are strange things coming through and I can find the right band to gather what is going on.
