The Duga Radar Station was used in the Soviet Union as part of its early-warning radar network for missile defense. It operated from July 1976 to December 1989.
The Duga system was extremely powerful, reaching over 10 MW, and broadcast in the shortwave radio bands. Given the nickname, the Russian Woodpecker by shortwave listeners for their emissions randomly appearing and sounding like sharp, repetitive tapping noises.
To combat this interference, amateur radio operators attempted to jam the signal by transmitting synchronized unmodulated continuous wave signals at the same pulse rate as the offending signal. They formed a club called The Russian Woodpecker Hunting Club.
