Alan Cross looks at a mysterious Russian shortwave radio station that came back to life for the first time in four years and wonders if it's a warning for something big - and bad - coming soon.

Not to worry you, but Russia’s “doomsday” radio station UVB076 just sent out four strange messages after four years of silence

"You're doing a great job, Comrade Trump. Keep it up!"

Owing to recent administrative changes in the United States, Russia now finds itself with more-than-sufficient funds to restart the station.

A quote by Douglas Adams:
"Consider how lucky you are that life has been good to you so far. Alternatively, if life hasn't been good to you so far, [snip] consider how lucky you are that it won't be troubling you much longer."

The answer is 42.

On Monday, Donald Trump spoke to Russia's Vladimir Putin about peace in Ukraine. That normally would not make news here. But what happened during and after that call does.

The mysterious Russian shortwave station, known as UVB-76 or "The Buzzer," mysteriously came back to life. Normally, the station broadcasts only a strange buzzing noise for months and years on end. But during and after the call, a human voice came on reading a series of letters and numbers.

Someone knows what it means, but it's unlikely to be anyone in the west.

You can hear this strange international radio moment at the article below. Not that it will make any sense to you. But given who's involved, I'm guessing it's not good news.

Putin resorting to 'Shortwave Bingo' to feed the russian coffers.
First game: four corners: bottle vodka.
Second game: cover all: stolen Ukraine washing machine.

Probably the equivalent of stand back and stand by.

This isn't the only mystery signal out there. There are others that both still broadcast or once did. No one really knows what they're for or who is listening that understands the secret code. Frankly, I wasn't aware there were so many.

The Yosemite Sam station has to be my favourite, ya varmint!

I haven't heard the Cuban numbers station for quite a while. Now that I think of it, I haven't heard any Cuban shortwave station for a while (other than the US counter-programming).
