Triangulation

These are the first results of trying to position the UVB-76 transmitter. The results are somewhat surprising, as the station triangulates way closer to the Internet Repeater than UVB-76 original site used to be, yet there is no reasonable difference in signal strenght nor behavior. No conclusions can be drawn yet, as there are several possibilities:
- The station is using heavily directional pattern for transmission
- There are more than one transmitter and different ones have been spotted during triangulation.
While the new bearings arrive, just enjoy browsing the map! The red semi-transparent sectors can be eliminated by pressing the "sectors" button above the map.

If you want to add a similar triangulation page to your own site for whatever purposes, the script can be downloaded here:
uvb-76_triangulation.zip

The usage is quite simple, just search for the array named 'triangulations' inside the code and replace with the values you would like to use.

Just be sure you do not remove the credits for Chris Veness, and if you really feel the script to be useful, the credits to UVB-76.net would be nice, as well as the entry to the comments section here, where the particular triangulation can be seen! :)

    Official "Voice of Russia" Transmitter.

    But think about this:

    In 2010 the former reported site Powarowo is abandoned during night and fog in just a few days.
    There are more than one eyewitness who seen the "evacuating".
    One of them can be seen on youtube talking about the Transmitter and the "evacuating" of Powarowo site.
    And another fact is:
    On September 2010 the buzzer stops for few days.
    Then after the transmit starts again, "Dance of the Little Swans" from Tchaikovsky's ballet Swan Lake was reportet as the first transmission. (Voice of Russia use this music very often)

    So just get one and one together...

  2. I think I've heard music on UVB-76 today 7:52 GMT -3.

    Question, I've heard that in 2010 the station on the map was abandoned, there is a small news documentary about 3 to 5 mins named "...the mystery of UVB-76" stating that.

    I was wondering if we have any new triangulation after that.

  3. Today at 0603 UTC it was quiet. The at 0604 UTC the signal went on again. Tried to see this in your "last 24 h data" but couldn't figure it out. /Katarina Sweden
