The RP—the Radio Protocol—has been breached. We’ve stopped trying to broadcast out. We’re just trying to keep what’s outside from broadcasting in."
The voice on the recording began to describe an experiment in long-range frequency manipulation. They weren't trying to talk to other countries; they were trying to find the "shadow" of radio waves—the places where sound goes when it’s forgotten.

The file is often associated with a specific "lost media" or "creepypasta" style story that has circulated in internet subcultures. In these circles, the file is frequently described as a corrupted archive containing unsettling logs, radio plays (the "RP"), or evidence of a forgotten experiment.
