Broadcaster; the channel-marker reading of the Buzzer
3 referenced events from the UVB-76 - The Buzzer archive.
Rimantas Pleikys founds M-1, Lithuania's first independent radio station, as the Soviet grip loosens. A broadcaster who has spent his life on the airwaves, he understands jamming and clandestine radio from the inside.
Pleikys becomes Lithuania's Minister of Communications and Informatics, an office he holds until 1998, and in 1998 publishes 'Jamming', a detailed study of how the Soviet Union tried to smother foreign broadcasts.
The sober explanation of the Buzzer is not a doomsday trigger but a military channel marker, keeping a frequency occupied and confirming that receiving operators are awake. It is the interpretation most monitors now accept and the one priyom.org sets out in detail; no first date and no single author for it can be documented.
