Some suggestions

[edit]

Too lazy to edit the article and reference it all, but here are some ideas

  • this message officially proves that Buzzer, Pip, Wheel, etc. (we also know Katok65, Plavets41 and more) are all rus. army command & control networks
  • "which may indicate that both stations are even operated from within the same building or room.[6]" this part should be reworked to include possibility of a shared source (phone exchange) of the signal instead of shared building, since two-way phone conversations have been unintentionally on air a few times. Buzzer's signal also appeared on a different network which triangulates to a different transmitter (orig. research, but the current "which may indicate" speculation isn't any better)

Perhaps at least some of this new info can be added. Editing this and the buzzer's page to remove speculations about it's use and mentioning it as a military radio to broadcast army orders would also help, if that's possible ->

  1. Pip broadcasted message from Russian army
  2. Buzzer and Wheel use the same message format, same practices, etc.
  3. Conclusion is the purpose of the buzzer is same as Pip's, so the purpose is known.

Original research is better than some common baseless speculations about a dead hand system, etc.

I don't want to significantly rework it to enable some discussion about what info should be added and if the sources are adequate.. --TotoCZ 03:05, 4 March 2014 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by TotoCZ (talkcontribs)

Using the information from that source wouldn't qualify as original research. It might be in doubt because of its reliability, but I think reliability should be measured relative to what is standard in the particular subject matter. And for this subject there is of course not a lot of official information, but Priyom.org is certainly a reliable source when it comes to clandestine radio stations. So I think it would be ok if you wanted to add more information, with citations from that site. Just make sure that you don't add any speculation or inferences that aren't already in the sources.
