The Buzzer

The most plausible of all theories is that The Buzzer or MDZhB acts a Dead Hand signal. In the case of a nuclear attack on Russia, the station would stop emitting, triggering an automatic nuclear response from the Motherland. Such systems were pioneered in the Soviet era, and some experts believe that they might still be in use. As a matter of fact, President Putin has repeatedly pointed out that nobody would survive a nuclear war between Russian and the U.S., and there are those who believe that this mysterious radio station is a trigger for nuclear annihilation. Another popular theory is that MDZhB, also known as The Buzzer, is a means of communication with a network of illicit Russian spies all over the world. That seems less plausible though, as apart from the short phrases uttered by a male or female voice, there's nothing but droning sounds. A more intriguing explanation is that the droning is just a marker to stop people from using it, and the station only truly comes alive in moments of crisis, to instruct Russia's spy network and its military. What could it mean? No one knows. One time an enigmatic “COMMAND 135 ISSUED” message appeared on the frequency. There is speculation that if the broadcasts were to stop it would initiate an automatic nuclear retaliation. Others think it is an emergency frequency that would only be activated if Russia were under attack. tune to ~ 4,625 KHZ: http://websdr.ru/ - http://websdr.ewi.utwente.nl:8901/
