Made the earliest Buzzer recording (1982)
2 referenced events from the UVB-76 - The Buzzer archive.
The earliest surviving recording of the signal on 4625 kHz dates from this year; the listening community credits it to the Dutch monitor Ary Boender, who has followed number stations since 1982. Decades later, through his 'Numbers & Oddities' column and logs, he is one of the community's steadiest chroniclers.
Boender begins his long-running 'Numbers & Oddities' newsletter and logs, cataloguing the strange utility signals, buzzers, pips, geese and squeaky wheels, that share the shortwave bands with the spoken number groups.
