Audio Sample

Zaliv52 is a Russian Military station transmitting from the Moscow region. Presumably it has ties with the modern T-Marker station, both of which share specific sorts of noises, humming and all other kinds of equipment parasitic signals, such as the ~1100hz+~2200hz+~3300hz tone "marker", short bursts of which appear moments before the transmittion of a message. The station also seems to be operating a AT-3004D (CISCommonwealth of Independent States (CIS), the former Soviet Republic-12) modem, supposedly on other frequencies. Some of transmittions contained only test counts with 20 minutes of static hum following.
