Lincolnshire Poacher - 11545 khz - Jamming Attempt?

[LOPEZdJUNGLIST]

love the sound of radio land its like tripping in space

[fgsfds121]

Oh, that's just Aphex Twin's favorite unreleased track.

[calcvids]

Sounds like Firedrake on 11550

[CapitalsMusic]

sounds like a burst transmission...

[fishes249]

probably was the same people who hacked psn... neither one could've been that hard to screw with

[KRAZE87GMODDER]

I vote yes... for Donald Trump 2012

[xsetforwinterx]

i vote yes.

[ExtreamThrills]

did anyone else feel kinda dizzy after listening to that? I swear i felt kinda messed up hearing the warbles from that jammer... I listen to a lot of dubstep music and nothing has made me feel like that.

[HarvestmanMan]

Keith Emerson approves of jamming.

[tonyvice6661616]

i dont get it...why would people in 21st century be actually using methods which are 20+ years old for espionage/military/whatever purpose.

on the one hand the transmitters and on the other hand the jammers?thats just too creepy...its as if we are listening to re-broadcasting of past transmissions...

[GrumpyGrebo]

@tonyvice6661616 Because it is one of the most effective methods of transmitting information still. Speed: instantaneous. Range: Global. Footprint: Minimal, once information is gone it can't be recovered unless recorded. Security: By manipulating radio waves they can essentially be encoded to an uncrackable format, unless you know exactly how they were made in the first place. You can program millions of transmitters/receivers to respond instantly on a largely undetectable network.

[blobloblo6]

@tonyvice6661616 The methods are old, but they work effectively. I'm sure they keep them because of the way people can track current technology.

[daladek]

sounds like one of those TTHT things or whatever they're called

[Clario40000]

that "interference" reminded me of that old sci-fi movie "Forbidden Planet"

[fdsman]

the North Koreans are broadcasting their "Voice of Korea" propaganda on the same frequency, so it's probably them.

[Schweinetot]

Oh God this is just terrifying. It really is.

[igenther99]

Mario theme gone mad...

[Icantthinkofanameok2]

I don't think its another country jamming just some local dr.HAX because I think all countries that air these have a gentlemens agreement

[kmikl]

@Icantthinkofanameok2 Intentional jamming, IDK... but it's entirely possible that it could be local. There is also a bit of overlap: there's a cuban number station that overlaps Airtraffic control frequencies in the caribbean.

[CanarinoMannar0]

When you received this transmission? Tnx and compliments.

Ciao from Italy

[riotpack]

I turned on my SMPS in western germany and it caused the jamming sorry guys

[phardcare]

more information required whats being jammed and why

[corilloclla]

seems an adjacent channel, not a jamming attempt...

[ranger1A4]

ok last one...

it's another agency intercepting and rebroadcasting

[ranger1A4]

yeah, u were jammed - at first it's just acquiring the lock, which is why you can still hear her. But one the tones come in clear, itsdone.

or it's just part of the org recording meant to let u think u were jammed. Could be part of the cypher text...as note can sub letters easily.

third option is your neighbors baby monitor!

[RIDDICKorigional]

right check this out, i dont know much about number stations just recently shown an interest but was talking to my friend on cb radio about them and he said he has heard them some time ago he recorded one through an old style tape recorder thingy nothing modern not sure how he fixed it up but when listened to it back after recording there was a silent wispering voice underneath number station saying "turn around let it sound" now what ya think about that sounds unsettling.

[nilsine]

Lincolnshire Poacher experiences interference from a transmission being sent from the planet of the clangers.

[dominicrusho]

Best.Comment.EVARRRRRRRRRRRR!

[Amishman35]

That's weird, a numbers station AND a jamming attempt at the same time. Good thing you got this on video.

[MattExzy]

...it's the Firedrake Jammer!!! If you took it out of USB mode, you'd most likely hear Chinese music.

[5thElement2007]

Thanks for the information, i just googled the firedrake jammer and found some decent info.

[riotpack]

USB means universal serial bus - you ham folks will now call Upper Side Band - UPSB

[MattExzy]

Heh, I'm sure they'll let that catch on.

[astralentity]

Shut up. Most of us can make the distinction. Kinda like forcing us computer geeks to use Kibibytes to mean 1024 bytes rather than 1000 bytes. Kilobytes are and will always be 1024 bytes. Upper Side Band has been around longer than Universal Serial Bus, but you have to think context with USB.

[riotpack]

No deal mate - UPSB for you and USB for me. If any of my ham mates quote USB ifrom now on I will say wow your radio plugs into your computer nice find CHUMP CHANGE. And I support BPL (Broadband over power lines)

[astralentity]

Yup. There are certainly people out there who just don't get it.

BPL, if it does become mainstream, will kill broadcasting and amateur radio on the lower bands. What do you think gets emergency communications going when everything else is down, including telephone lines?

[pitcalco]

I think that was a broadcast on an adjacent channel. If I were to guess, I would say it was the China Radio International. Jammers usually sound like an airplane hanger full of running diesel engines.

[5thElement2007]

It definately wasn't an adjacent legit station as mentioned in the info

[pitcalco]

Yes, I did see the info, however I thought it may be mistaken.

Jamming signals sound like a loud room of diesel engines running, not like a bunch of seemingly random notes. Whatever this is remains a mystery.

[dieselscience]

Pitcalco, Jamming stations sound like whatever the transmitter is sending. This exact tone set came from China during Desert Storm. Today China jams Linc. Poacher, E 10, VOA and many others. They never jam anything coming from Cuba or Russia. They also NEVER use sign on, sign off or call signs. It's called "Firedrake" and they're using 'traditional Chinese music.'

[pitcalco]

Alright, thanks. I will keep an ear out for it. Perhaps I have been hearing more jamming than I realised. So far, I was only familiar with the diesel-engine roar.

[dieselscience]

No offense taken ;) Sometimes jamming can even be rush or 'dead key' (zero tone.) My dad was doing that back during Viet Nam! Makes me wonder how much things have changed since I got out of the Army in 2003!

[pitcalco]

It looks like you have an inside angle on jamming thanks to your dad. I always wanted to meet someone with some first hand knowledge about such things. Next, I need to find someone who was involved in numbers stations. :)

[dieselscience]

He did jamming (crypto-logic) transmitting, I did interception, (listening to the enemy's transmissions.) Truth is, cypher - decypher really hasn't changed in the HUMAN aspect. BUT, machine encoding capability (with computers) made things infinitely hard to crack.

[Mainsail76]

Did you check to see if there is a broadcast station transmitting on a nearby freq? The reason I say this is because I used to always get the Lincolnshire Poacher on 11545kHz here in Kansas in the USA. But now, there is a very powerful spanish language station broadcasting on 11555kHz that totally kills anything on 11545kHz usb.

[nomarch]

thats odd, 15682 khz is the frequency usually jammed.

it is also very odd that they only tried blocking the last few packets of numbers as this would of only corrupted the last few lines of text and nearly all the message would of still be legible after decryption.

did you listen to the entire transmission? if so did the jamming come in and out or was it really just the last few seconds.

[betomiyazaki]

yes, it's jamming , from somebody on mid east

[Spocko000]

It makes you wonder what's going on out there in espionage land.
