  • Okay. I have no problem with spies going about their spyey stuff, BUT WHY DO THEY HAVE TO MAKE THEIR TRANSMISSIONS SO CREEPY?!

  • I don't understand. I am trying to find the march for the The Lincoln and Welland Regiment, and I keep hearing all of this about some radio station. I don't understand what this video is about.

  • I just heard a weird signal on 27.165 that somebody identified fro me as the Lincolshire Poacher. Do you have any knowledge of it operating there? I posted a video on my channel that is entitled "KB5WQW".

  • @roboticpigeon42 because its transmitting from another world

  • if i remember correctly, this numbers station has been traced to a British military base in Cypress and transmits towards the middle east. seems to be the only numbers station that i've heard about that's actually been traced.

  • @tangofizz77 ....their main use is for government agencies abroad etc. Especially military and spying.

  • @tangofizz77 The letters only make sense if you have a sheet of paper (a "one-time cipher") to decipher them.

    So for the first letter, "A" might correspond to "R", "B" might equal "H" etc etc.

    For the second letter you would have a different set of letters to use. Once you've used the whole sheet you can never use it again. That's why it's called a one-time cipher.

    Guys with suitcases handcuffed to their wrists on passenger planes are often carrying one-time ciphers.

  • @valzilla2000 3 9 5  3 9 5 7 0 4 :D

  • @Alex911TheCanadian Britain's secret intelligence service (MI6) used to broadcast a radio station from Cyprus transmitting coded number messages to operatives overseas, which used the tune of "The Lincolnshire Poacher" in-between messages.

  • Amateur listener: OMG, I've stumbled upon a government conspiracy!

    Broadcaster: Small or medium coffee Jim?
