Geocache Description:

Not at posted coordinates.

BYOP, replace as found. May need a buddy down below.


Ah Vlad... Olga was nice enough to prepare you this double shot of vodka. Now you must find the ruthless agent Jason Stu, who is hiding somewhere in the Caucasus Mountains. We believe he has intel on a vial which contains a deadly virus that he will unleash. There will be a slow-speed car chase between two SUVs, one a GMC Jimmy and the other a Blazer. It will end in a wreck and you'll have to face Stu yourself. Decode this information and you will find a walkie talkie at these coordinates. It's not going to be that easy...

The channel will be УВБ-76, 4.625 MHz, and we will be broadcasting between 00:30 and 00:45 UTC. If you have trouble locating the signal, try the Squeeky Wheel at 3.828 MHz or Капля, 5.448 MHz will carry the broadcast repetitively. If we feel we are compromised, we will shift to the designated frequencies in your packet.

The broadcast will sound like this: ENCODED TRANSMISSION
...and was developed at 192 kHZ mp3 format. You may need your special player to get this to work. Its in the front pocket of your backpack. Don't forget the headphones like last time. We've attempted to diguise the information therein but we are unsure if any amateur radio operators may pick up on it.

If you are successful Comrade Vladimir, we will hold a parade in your honor as you sign your name on the paper. You must not find this 'walkie-talkie' after dark and it will require some resemlence of stealth (so wear black). Remember, we are watching you. If we find you've been using our footprints, you may not survive to hear the next transmission. Приём!

Vladimir, see if your vodka induced state can answer the question here: GeoChecker.com.
