This is number station E03 "Lincolnshire Poacher".

[manyvideoinerests]

I thought that sounded familiar.

[musighitta]

this is the lincolnshire poacher

[gardel2000]

Is there any chance to verify this stations by a QSL card?

Here in Mexico is Quite easy to listen this kind of spy number station for Cuba and I have several code mesagges recorded

[the123kingRV]

QSL cards for these stations are VERY rare, mainly because these stations arn't technically meant to exist.

The recording is of Lincolnshire Poacher (E3) based in cyprus.

Send your request to SIS in London, they might reply back, with a QSL card or a letter saying please don't listen to it, there's a good chap ;-)

[pitcalco]

The Old Czech spy station sent QSL cards and was quite friendly about it. They were so confident that the codes could not be cracked and they are the only ones to acknowledge (albeit informally) the existence of numbers stations. There attitude in getting a QSL request is really "We know that you know what we are doing - and we're not bothered."

fishing numbers, snow fall records, temperatures for sea...hahah YEEAAAA right. thats really strong signal though.

alphabet one is heard in greece alwayse at 9:30 pm at night, i dont know which frequency since its a turn dial old model. but strong also.

[Scotscan]

i love the announcer she is always on time!

[audilab]

the "linconshire poacher" is the tune that the station plays before transmitting the code

[FibonacciPrower]

The Lincolnshire Poacher?

[X031]

Maybe a grid refrence point? Or part of,mixed in the numbers itself?Just a guess from an ex infantry guy.Very interesting stuff.The British wouldn't let us very close to the listening station at Cape Greco in Cyprus when we stayed at the British base there,Tequalia? I spelt it wrong I bet ;)

they are almost universally electronic.

There was a 'sighting' of a 'live' number station a year back, but they were just reception tests for a legit radio station coming on line.

[saskabush2006]

This must be a really boring job for whoever has to read out those numbers. With today's computers being able to speak so clearly I wonder how many of these voices are actually electronic?

[sonnetradio]

These Number 'Stations' basically use the same technology as the speaking clock (TIM). If you notice, the actual voice of the woman is that of the speaking clock until it changed in the 90's

[Hellotheres]

Oh wow so it is. How interesting.

[signaljunkie]

Probably MI6. Nice clean catch. Good job.
