2010 Jan 20, 2:03The only doctor in Antarctica has to remove his own appendix.

UVB-76 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

2010 Jan 18, 3:24"UVB-76 is the callsign of a shortwave radio station that usually broadcasts on the frequency 4625 kHz (AM full carrier). It's known among radio listeners by the nickname The Buzzer. It features a short, monotonous buzz tone (help·info), repeating at a rate of approximately 25 tones per minute, for 24 hours per day. The station has been observed since around 1982.[1] In rare occasions, the buzzer signal is interrupted and a voice transmission in Russian takes place. Only four such events have been noted. There is much speculation; however, the actual purpose of this station remains unknown." Inspiration for Lost?PermalinkCommentsradio russia mystery
