I googled to see if I can find the frequency but apparently I just don't know what I am doing. I haven't had a shortwave radio since before I was married. Threw it out because a cat peed on it (long story). I'll dig around some more then.

I'm older than I thought I was I guess.
Did some reading on these things a while back. Pretty crazy stuff, would be wacky if it started back up all the sudden. Who knows what it could mean, but it's fun to speculate.

the three voice recordings seem to indicate somthing more than an old transmitter

Never heard of this before, so first of all thanks to the OP for posting this.
My own thoughts on this is theyre either updating the signal (going digital) or there simply isnt any use for it now. Its understandable it taking so long to switch off if it was a 'cold war' warning system, the russians are probably the most nervous of the super powers IMO.

This is what put me off the thought of it being a 'left over' or 'looped' transmission.
Another explanation for the constant buzzer is the High-frequency Doppler method for ionosphere research [10] described in the Russian Journal of Earth Sciences, in which radio waves are reflected from ionosphere inhomogeneities. Changes of an ionosphere state can be caused by solar geophysical or seismic events. This method involves comparing a continuous radio transmission which is reflected by the ionosphere with a stable basic generator.
