Mystery Russian Radio Shortwave Signal

http://www.bbc.com/future/story/20170801-the-ghostly-radio-station-that-no-one-claims-to-run

Its been called the Buzzer according to the writers and has been around for 30 years. Its a conspiracy theory that the articles are suggesting here,


The BBC story includes an eye-rolling attempt to explain how shortwave works -- the author gets it completely backwards! Hard to believe that there was no one at the BBC, which dominated shortwave broadcasting for decades, who could provide facts.

Also, the stock-art shortwave radio pictured -- which looks to be around 65 years old -- is incapable of receiving "The Buzzer." It covers only the maritime band (2.0 to 3.0 MHz) and a range starting at 6.0 MHz. The mystery station operates at 4.625.

Other than that -- and the fact that the nuclear "retaliation" shown in yet another stock photo appears to be an American test in the South Pacific -- an interesting article.
