The Conet Project - Cherry Ripe Iridial

[awesomly47]

Damn cold war, you scary.

[VNVgirl]

@gutterhare i agree!!! it fascinates me too and throws me under my covers at same time no doubt... weird stuff but cool at same time! odd....

[VNVgirl]

these still give me the creeps... i love it!!!

[eveningniteshade]

So this transmitter in Australia was turned off 1 or 2 years ago, and nobody ever managed to determine where exactly it was in Australia?

Was it run by the UK or Australian secret service?

[MrJava200]

@eveningniteshade Im pretty sure it was a UK run station due to the similarities to stations like the Lincolnshire Poacher.

[vorrtteexx]

That tune is the music of hell

[Alfadore]

I heard one of those when I was a kid

I was scared :s

Could be aliens? xD

[spershall]

Why are numbers stations the scariest and most awesome thing ever? Especially The Buzzer!

[Kenshiroit]

their are broadcasting the winning numbers of the next lottery ;-)

[HarvestmanMan]

@scotfreak The song is called Cherry Ripe, which is why the station is called Cherry Ripe.

[bhrmaximo]

damn humanity >_< WHY?

[scotfreak]

what song was being played? i thought cherry ripe played the lincolnshire poacher as well

[fliptruck1]

Yo tengo un equipo de radio, con el cual he podido captar ondas electromagnéticas de los anillos de saturno, y al transformar la señal análoga a digital y dar valores desde el 0 al 7 y asignar las notas musicales desde el Do al SI. Se obtiene música similar.

Es algo totalmente impresionante.

[YouDuck2345]

0:00 - three, eight, two, seven, *number*

0:05, if you're BARELY listening - three, eight, two, seven, *Heavy Weapons Guy from TF2: POOT!*

[adamwarrix]

The sound that will start the nuclear war.

[blakdaimond]

sounds like a dalek voice

[linutas]

@gutterhare lol, this one aint even scary. Btw checkout i uploaded some number stations i caught myself

[andrewspoony]

Its. Creepy. These were actually real. Not made up. Its just creepy

[linutas]

@andrewspoony they still are real, can hear number stations everyday

[mycellphonebrokelawl]

Woops, I butt dialed you...

[DaishoKatana]

Those sounds also are in the song "No Station" by 65daysofstatic

38277... 38277... 38277... 38277...

I find it rather chilling to know this could be ordering anything at all... assassination? Nuclear test?

[riheg]

maybe its my butt talking

Trees are antennae also, it's why they really remove trees, so the much-needed energies they ground in cannot be grounded in, so people become stupider and less tuned into reality.

Hey guys, I tuned in to 24644 (one of the frequencies for this station) today at 1842 and heard "It's Five O' Clock Somewhere".

The Poacher has turned into a redneck...

[20122017]

where can I get a list of active number stations which are available in central Europe?

[DuffBeerDragon]

@20122017 - they move about, just scan / turn the tuner through the SW band.

Think of all the satellites up there these days, all those feeds...

[yurikomuro]

this is really creepy....these numbers could've been instructions to blow shit up or kill some important dude.

[sselfless]

@yurikomuro good point

[progrocer]

I last heard it around the start february 2010 on i think, 183 Mhz sw.

[BrendanIsCool]

[Ormaaj]

would suck being a spy having to run off and find a private place to crack out your radio and hope you have reception good enough to pick it up without missing the broadcast. Just send a freeking email. Use GPG if you want it to be private. Such arcane and unreliable communication...

[Rcrby525]

@Ormaaj ..........wow, so, in 1983, e-mail exisisted?

i understand what you are saying, man, i do, but, back then they had no choice.

today they do as a form of more private stuff. most of these codes are only spoken once, decoded with a one-time pad, then that part of the pad is either burned, eaten (some of them are made of rice-paper, or be able to turn into sticks of gum) with e-mail, these are only spoken once then the decoded statement is destroyed, like i said.

[GozerTheGozerian]

@Ormaaj Except for the fact that networks can be taken down relatively easily, and any large-scale attack will definitely include a massive cyber attack.

Old technology is often reliable technology. A hacker can take out networks while sitting at home in his underwear. But he can't do shit about numbers stations.

[Ormaaj]

@GozerTheGozerian That can be resisted by throwing your messages into a distributed system like Freenet. Or use onion routing/Tor. Coordinating military operations requires guaranteed connectivity. Reliability of shortwave radio beyond line-of-sight is very dependent upon atmospheric conditions and totally unsuitable for sending important instructions unless conditions require it (like working in a remote region with limited telecommunications infrastructure.)

[GozerTheGozerian]

@Ormaaj So-called onion routing and other encryption techniques don't work when a network is taken down.

I think the proof is in the pudding – why are spy agencies still using such antiquated technology in 2010? Because it's reliable. So we can assume they do think these number stations are useful, otherwise they would have been shut down a long time ago.

Anyway, I'm not arguing against digital communication, I'm simply saying it's fascinating that numbers stations still exist.

[DuffBeerDragon]

@GozerTheGozerian - note that TVs started using digital menus for tuning in stations, meaning you couldn't (without modifying them internally) tune into the in-between stations anylonger, it'd just show up the bluescreen / blank background.

This seems to be an effort to escape karmic EVP or ITC energies on their part, but what is funny is that those still work on digital broadcasts anyway. I was surprised to find they often come through, energetically speaking, all the moreso on digital.

[randomlaughingman]

aetherial radio

[brunster64]

Brings back memories of listening to these as child on my fathers HF radio. I always thought they related to sleepers. Thanks for posting

[worlwr2]

@gutterhare a mechanized doll with empty eye sockets and slightly elongated neck

[progrocer]

"swedish Rhapsody" numbers station is still broadcasting too.

[guruguruponchan27]

@progrocer Where can you find it? ?

[Monoxidex03]

@progrocer The Swedish Rhapsody station sounds weird as hell aswell lol

[linutas]

@progrocer was this posted on April 1st?

[msnikish1]

this is great

[dis0guise]

What's fascinating is that shortly before or after (I forget which) Richard Hannay, the hero of John Buchan's thriller and spy novels, meets his future wife, he hears her singing "Cherry Ripe." She and he are both heavily involved in espionage (for the good guys, of course). Can this be a coincidence? I doubt it.

[Hanglands]

Good to see that this ones still going, unlike its twin, the Lincolnshire Poacher. I picked it up quite strong yesterday 1200UTC on 18864kHz USB,

Good recording in this vid.

[shnazztastic]

Lincolnshire Poacher is still going. I picked it up today. All day.

[Hanglands]

What did you pick up? Lincolndshire Poacher or Cherry Ripe?

[ivanthemute]

@shnazztastic On what freq? I checked 11.545MHz, 14.487MHz, and 15.682MHz and have been listening for three days. I know this is a stale comment, but I haven't heard the Poacher in over two years.

[KreigsMarine2]

@ivanthemute The Lincolnshire Poacher was last heard about July 2008.

[masadasensei]

@KreigsMarine2 Do you know if it's been heard after that?

[uncoolnerd]

@masadasensei Lincolnshire stopped but Cherry Ripe is going since Sept 9 2008

[Rcrby525]

@masadasensei Mi6 shut it down as there was no need to spy on the USA anymore.

[KreigsMarine2]

@masadasensei Not that I know of. Pretty sure it's still down though. Probably may never come back. Mission complete...................???

[Obiwannabe]

this is so cool

[steinber]

fascinating and creepy! makes me want a shortwave of my own...
