My buddy, Andrea Borgnino, recently heard UVB-76 (The Buzzer) on 6,998 kHz with his Elecraft K3 in Italy. Check out this short video:

While the audio sounds identical to that of UVB-76's on 4,625 kHz. I strongly suspect this is simply a pirate radio station relay-especially since it's broadcasting just below the 40 meter ham radio band. Either way, it's a great catch! Thanks for sharing, Andrea!
