Evil beeps from the past

An abandoned old radio station in Russia is still broadcasting, what it's broadcasting is a mysterium. The eerily content, which takes from in "evil" beeping and buzzes and the occasional speaking of names, hasn't still been identified. The story gets even spookier from this quote:

"As you might expect, the Buzzer’s history is murky. Roughly 30 years ago, it’s said, the Soviets built a radio station near Povarovo (the accent is on the second syllable), a 40-minute drive northwest of Moscow. At the time, Leonid Brezhnev was still alive, the Kremlin presided over an intercontinental empire, and Soviet troops were battling the mujahideen. After the Soviet Union collapsed in 1991, it was revealed that Povarovo was controlled by the military, and that whatever happened there was top-secret."
