I briefly posted about the UVB-76 radio station a while ago, as it’s transmissions stopped. Was a bit of a “oh noes” moment for all the radio enthusiasts around the world, as the station is often referenced as being a part of the “dead hand” nuclear doomsday system which the Russians are said to have built.

A few weeks ago, the following recording was, ugh, recorded…

Probably means nothing at all… Wikipedia has it written as saying the following:

• At 1335 UTC on August 23, 2010: “UVB-76, UVB-76, 93, 882, NAIMINA, 74, 14, 35, 74, 9, 3, 8, 8, 2, Nikolai, Anna, Ivan, Mikhail, Ivan, Nikolai, Anna, 7, 4, 1, 4, 3, 5, 7, 4” (Recording of August 23rd transmission) ^[11]

Whatever that means…

Since my last post, however, there’s been a few updates from ol’ Russia… What, with those pesky spies infiltrating America and living there for years without being pulled up… God only knows whether the UVB-76 transmissions are actually “covert” communications…

Let’s hope we don’t have to find out.

EDIT: just got sent this by a mate, recording of the UVB-76 station going down…
