Someone tried to tell a joke on that military Radio frequency, but was denied in May 2024.

Unknown pirate: А можно шутку рассказать? ... Один «ррр» (звонок) – «да», два – «нет». (English: Can I tell a joke? One "rrr" [buzz] for "yes", two for "no".)

UVB-76 operator: [Two clear buzzes.]

Unknown pirate: Да за что?? ... А музыку включить можно? (English: Well, what for? But can I turn on some music?)

UVB-76 operator: [Two clear buzzes.]

Unknown pirate: Почему!? ... А за такие вопросы вам ничего не будет? (English: But why!? Are you going to get in trouble if you answer my questions?)

[UVB-76 buzzer starts.]

Unknown pirate: Да блин! (English: Well, damn!)
