Theories range from a Dead Man's Switch ((liaising with other stations such as "The Squeaky Wheel") where if the transmission is stopped for a certain amount of time, it will be assumed that Russia has attacked by nuclear missiles from another country, and so the Russian missiles will launch) to the back up channel for encoded military orders, and the buzz is just a placeholder so no one else takes the frequency to an aural computer clock calibration utility. The strange thing is that it is not a recorded noise, but it is actively generated by an oscillator or similar, as frequently, distant conversations and other background noises can be heard behind the buzzer which suggests that the buzzing device is behind a live and constantly open microphone (rather than a recording or automated sound being fed through playback equipment). One such occasion was on November 3, 2001, when a conversation in Russian was heard: "I'm 143rd. I don't receive the oscillator [generator]." "That's what the operating room is sending." or "Those are the orders from operations.").
The station's transmitter is located at Povarovo, Russia (56°4′58″N 37°5′22″E), and it is broadcast on the frequency 4625 kHz.
So, thoughts? Opinions? Conspiracy Theories? Anyone here tuned in?
