The Lincolnshire Poacher - Caught on Video

[moonmonkey72]

ok

[MrRisdon1]

ahhh great, now im scared of radios

[TheZeladar]

In a strange universe with many secret orginizations and alien races, several top secret broadcasts accidently slip through the cracks.

This is one of them.

[Mirokuofnite]

Can anyone here who knows piano post the keys to play those bars of the Lincolnshire Poacher?

[PeliculaSA]

@Mirokuofnite 8notes . com/scores/5338.asp

or, F Bb Bb Bb A G F (a little sustained) Eb D F Bb Bb C A Bb (sustained too) Bb.

I hope I got that right.

[ChrisAlvey22]

It's being broadcast from a ship. I saw it a long time ago. Called the Rusalka.

Where is it?

Cuba.

/sunglasses

YEAAAAAAAAHHHHH

[Mirokuofnite]

@ChrisAlvey22

I said the exact same thing when he put on his sunglasses.

[sz42781]

its being broadcast from upstairs

[dacribgansta]

i'm thinking this could be a way to tie up other countries. ex. the u.s. sends one of these out to tie up china and russia they waste their time trying to decode this which could possibly truly be nothing.

[humby123]

@dacribgansta this is exactly what I think it is. Dummy transmissions that don't mean anything to the people transmitting it, but potential spies wouldn't know that and it would just throw them off. It makes sense.

[docsigma]

RIP Lincolnshire Poacher :(

[HomeMediaProductions]

@docsigma its still here

[Sammut81]

OK I accept this as well. But If they are serious transmissions it would be dangerous for them to give so much of a hint away of what they are saying.

[npc223]

these signals are used to say everything is fine. a variation in the signal indicates all is not well in cyprus

[Sammut81]

How do you know this?

[npc223]

well, it makes more sense than all the other theories i've seen

also, it has been hinted to me this is the purpose by an intelligence officer in the RAF

[mdkl0000]

sigh...

Old news

[mootard]

OK, I haven't seen this discussed yet much anywhere, but what does MI6 and the CIA use now to communicate with clandestine agents if Lincolnshire Poacher and the CIA counterpart, Cynthia are off the air? The latter for more than 5 years now.

Of course both agencies haven't given up on spying and the obvious answer is that they might use the internet, but not everywhere has unrestricted internet or internet access period.

So what new method/technology do they use now?

[69carman]

Game Set Match... That was a great comeback!I laughed my ass off

[KeepItRBL]

dude what is this stuff its almost spooky, is it just some geeky radio thing to decode or are these like military communications or something cool and eerie

[pyromaniak97]

37739-74722?

[Wardy2oo8]

that was shit LINCOLNSHIRE poacher you only had a radio. weres the game and proof i think you are one of the truckers who like to listen to your radio dumm ass.

[KeepItRBL]

are you guys able to decode this stuff?

[rjy8960]

Yes...

74382 31765 34501 22295 09876 34561 translated using my one time pad issued by MI5 contains the message "Wardy2008 is a twat" :)

[TranceMan1818]

whats the radio

[ChocolateMilk831]

Whats the significance of this anyway my friends like you gotta see this, what the hell.

[jwallbanger]

these are codes transmitted to spies via shortwave radio.

[colt79sigma]

As from July 2008 the Poacher is no more.... :(

[TranceMan1818]

do you know this for fact

[MattExzy]

Yes it's gone...

[Maus5000]

@colt79sigma

If the backward music can make a comeback, so can this!

[penyafan]

maybe we all have been bluffed all theses years,maybe be it was RED 5 on a very out dated looking white phone the goverment used.a great way to cover noramll voice to voice talking ,buy covering it to the outsider in numbers and sounds.

[Mainsail76]

It's sad to see the Lincolnshire Poacher go. I had a feeling it wasn't going to last much longer. I was able to catch it on a fairly regular basis here in Kansas in the US. I thought that when "Cynthia" the CIA station quit transmitting in 2003, that the Lincolnshire Poacher would stop soon after. I was suprised that she lasted until '08. I wonder how they're getting their messages out now. I wonder what tech. they're using in it's place?

[alwinovich]

it's a number station, a shortwave station that plays a tune and then transmits long strings of numbers

this one is called The Lincolnshire Poacher

because that is the tune it plays before each number sring

[colt79sigma]

The Poacher is no more! Last heard 29 June 2008 - Another piece of radio history lost to modern tecnology :(

[Lainez187]

whats the Lincolnshire Poacher??

[DarkAvenger474]

The Lincolnshire poacher is the Canadian Regiment " Lincoln and Welland" Regimental march song and was the song for 2nd Battalion Royal Anglican Regiment "the Poachers"

[SpionKop1892]

I Dont know if anybody actualy knows, but this may be quite interesting:

The British Army Intelligence Corps slow march is called "Trumpet Tune and Ayre" by Sly Renard the Fox and The Lincolnshire Poacher.

Worth considering

[pwnage0013]

I have read that the reason they read off groups of numbers either in clusters of 4 or 5, is to make it easy for the person on the other end( a spy) to decode the message easier. That in fact they use codes made up of randomly picked numbers that are used only one time, making it mathematically impossible for even a CRAY computer to break.

[jfunk513]

Great video, I am always looking out for numbers stations or the poacher. Thats a nice setup you have

73

[amandalee7747]

100% agreed w/luornu!

[MrGillyboy]

Its the tune at the beginning. Its an old English Folk song.

[GuruLarry]

Thanks, I spent ages trying to look on the web for the full song, but to no avail.

[andrestierradelfuego]

type lincolnshire poacher into google the lyrics are all there

[amandalee7747]

go to google, look for the 'spooks' webpage... or the 'conet' project. just search numbers stations on google, tons of pages, this is one of the easiest to find. good luck.

[pw3uk]

Hah, I have exactly the same radio - ICF-2001D :)

Spock: not sure if you'd get Lincolnshire Poacher as it transmits from the Mediterranean. However, there are a few in that region, one called Cherry Ripe and sounds similar to LP and also operated by MI6. Check it out and let us know the results!

[k8ai]

I was getting LP in Michigan last summer about 3X9 and some days 5X9.

[pw3uk]

Thats fantastic. I'm in Texas and I never hear it here.

[sean77741111]

Only smart people will understand this/// /

[Spocko000]

I'm in Australia. I don't have a short wave radio, but if i got one, do you think i could pick it up on the radio?

[signaljunkie]

Good clip. Simon's site has some fantastic HF goodies.

[luornu]

1. charlieoscar-This clip is not boring to those of us who are interested in numbers stations. If you aren't interested in it then don't watch it! Instead of mouthing off and revealing your ignorance!

2. Gurularry-it's called the lincolnshire poacher because the interval signal is the English folk tune 'The lincolnshire poacher'. Which five seconds typing it into google would have told you. *sigh*.
