== History ==
Although not much was known about the shortwave military radio station during its early uses, it was built in the year of 1962 ontop of Mount Cromwell, when the town of Jairesville was booming. There was no reason as to why the FMSS-4 was constructed, but images of the antenna were taken in the year of 1965 and the shortwave military radio station began operations in around 1963. 10 years after the FMSS-4 was constructed, it unexpectedly closed down in the year of 1972, over 2 years before the beginning of the Federation War. Although there was no clear reason as to why, rumors spread across the surrounding areas that the FMSS-4 was shutdown unexpectedly as nobody had used it.
Prior to the 1970s, the location of the FMSS-4 was unknown, including the name of the station, and it began gaining notoriety in 1964, with groups of people climbing over Mount Cromwell in order to locate the radio station, and as nearby residents near Mount Cromwell tuned into the radio station, all they could hear was beeping sounds, which would give the FMSS-4 a nickname, The Beeper.
in 1990's the FMSS-4 would malfunction as the first report started in 1989, due to analog system being too old and not handling the shortwave station for years.
In 2000's, the tone changed for unknown reason, it was pitched beeping sounds, after 2 days it went normal.
In 2006-2007, The Beeper was heard in other frequencies, Such as: 14,200 MHz ( Harmonic ), People theorized that it could be a new transmitter, However it could be a Pirate radio retransmitting the Beeper, nothing was far confirmed.
During 2009-2010 Telephone lines were accidently transmitted at the FMSS-4 HQ. They contained information of cordinates and Codes.
In 2010's, a expedition team was send to the Shortwave Station, several pictures were taken of old equipment in harsh condition and posted on internet.
Since 1989, The Beeper started to rarely break due to analog equipment being broken and malfunctioned.
in 2030's, the analog system was damaged and had lack of power and reproduction, and the Station was rotting and collapsing, a fire occoured in a electrical generator that resulted in Radio station burning down.

In the year 1974, the St. Ark Federation declared war on the Republic of Bistonia, 2 years after the FMSS-4 unexpectedly closed down. Because of this, underground resistance networks began tapping into shortwave military radio stations across the St. Ark Federation, waiting for information to provide to the Bistonian government at the time. However, they came across a radio station known as the FMSS-4. Not hearing any information about it, they decided to tune in, and as they tuned into the radio transmission, they heard unintelligible military communication which gave coordinates, however they could not track the approximate location.
