My buddy, Andrea Borgnino, recently heard UVB-76 (The Buzzer) on 6,998 kHz with his Elecraft K3 in Italy. Check out this short video:

While the audio sounds identical to that of UVB-76’s on 4,625 kHz. I strongly suspect this is simply a pirate radio station relay–especially since it’s broadcasting just below the 40 meter ham radio band. Either way, it’s a great catch! Thanks for sharing, Andrea!
Picked this up yesterday on the University of Twente WebDSR page.

At first I thought is was leakage from CFL lamp then I thought it was from digital battery charger then the solar PV converter. I started throwing breakers in the basement then the main breaker, No dice, Then I took the portable SW around the neighborhood, signal strength did not change so it must be distant. Thanks for the explanation.
I’ve yet to hear the buzzer on it’s 4mhz frequency here in Arkansas, USA
Thomas, another signal which may sound mysterious:
Iran’s OTH Radar, named “Ghadir”; part of Iran’s Sepehr Phased Radar System.
They’d polluted 10-meter band; now they transmit on 26MHZ

By the way, here’s my recording of UVB-76:

Hi Thomas
Thank you. You just solved a mystery for me.
I heard exactly this sound on my Tecsun PL-680 on 7.0MHZ in Iran. I think it was October 24 .
At first I thought it’s a VOX activated by ship horn 🙂

I first heard about this on one of Gilles’ videos. I’ve heard it a couple of times here in Pennsylvania, very weakly, of course.
