Lincolnshire Poacher on 13.3750 mhz

[OMEGAConscript]

I think its codes the government uses to secretly announce messages to secret agents/employees or whatever

[lesliekwan80]

1337

[AnGeLaXl521]

ENTIRE STATION IS BABY

[DumblyBrilliant]

These codes are called One-time pad codes or Vernam cipher. They are unbreakable. The tune reminds me of a British TV Ad for fudge sticks. To this tune the ditty, "A finger of fudge is just enough to give your kids a treat." As of last night many of these stations were still broadcasting. I heard this on the 30m band.

THE NUMBERS MASON. WHAT DO THEY MEAN?

[pielordsdiedlongago]

i find number station so interesting yet so creepy. i mean the fact that they broadcast that music but nobody is there. 0.0

[spyer22]

you have the radio on the wrong modulation you n00b

[henrygsterling]

The definitive noise of the Cold War. MI6 calling... :D

[DHGameStudios]

Is this a message on loop or something? Is it a changing number order?

[farty1000]

is the linconshire poacher still broadcasting? i am about to get a hf set and have not heard this for years, i love the secret mysteriousness about all this anybody help me freqs times ect??

[windows958]

@farty1000 from what i've heard, it went down in 2008..

[BrotherPrimus]

@farty1000 I believe it has gone quiet. The job has been taken over by an Australian numbers station.

97145......97145.....97145....­..*linconshirepoacher*

creepy!

[VNVgirl]

@gonepishing i think i like it cause its so creepy ... i think this is the closest im gonna get to doing things for the government...unless its ,"miss, put your hands on your head!"

[Germanboy567]

I think the beginning of the Broadcast was to fool people who were just passing by through the radio.

[itaRomeo]

Sta radio è proprio un cesso!

[SargonAnkro]

9 7 1 4 5 ? what does it mean?

[Wolvster007]

@SargonAnkro It's a Message to Spies, they get a Sheet of Paper, and in between each number, theres one erased. So the Spy writes the letters broadcatsed inbetween the one he got, then he Translates it into "Real" Letters and He got the Message!

[grazzer88]

It's like something out of Fallout 3

[etetepete]

@grazzer88 it more like what you said in reverse. F3 took the idea out of reality..

[HarihiBlane]

I just shat a fuck load of birx.

brb, need to build a house with them.

[Hanglands]

Pity the Poacher shut down. Its western Pacific sister station, Cherry Ripe, is still very much active though. I have a much clearer recording up here, check

/watch?v=Ua94OV9Ter8

[GrazzaD]

That repeating tune that plays at the start is insanely creepy...

[HabTasianet]

@GrazzaD It is the interval signal. It plays 12 times when a new transmission is beginning.

The song is the Lincolnshire Poacher, hence the station nickname.

[Conbryvas]

lol 13.3750=leetso

[52039116]

@Conbryvas  how do you know that?

[Conbryvas]

Because its 1337speak

[daryl000303]

Nice shot of the Yaesu and the DSP working to recieve this transmission. I was considering buying the Yaesu for EXACTLY this purpose! Do you reccomend it, and what antenna are you using? Cheers for posting...

[itakeyourphoto]

Seeing as he hasen't replied to you I will put in my 5 cents worth. If you want to rx HF then dont get a VR5000 its very bad. Its inferior to everything in its price range. The only good thing to say about it is the bandscope. Using its dual receivers allows you to see the spectrum while tunning around and you can receive audio from any signal in the spectrum display by just tunning to it. Scope and rx at same time.. Very nice feature however the rest of the radio is BAD.

[daryl000303]

Thanks for your reply! I really need to do some research before I consider buying anything (I have no set up as yet!). I've been looking at the AOR 5000 but it seems they are not making them any more. Can you, or anyone else recommend a base scanner and antenna set up for Nottingham, England to recieve number stations and other interesting broadcasts? I would prefer a wide bandwidth, cheers.

[riotpack]

what a notch filter? give me a simple 8 pin opamp, $50 for my time and ill make you the same.

[KingGooey]

wow 9 days ago, freaky
