The broadcasts start just after hourtop and generally last for 45 minutes. At
the end of the broadcast the Lincolnshire Poacher tune is repeated a few times.

Well, so far I get nothing. I heard a very, very faint signal at 11545
almost inaudible but that's it. I'll keep trying.

I don't get one frequency in so far. I'm in USB and I get good signals
otherwise. I'll catch it eventually.

Some background info on the Poacher can be found here if you haven't seen it
already:

Typically during the afternoon high frequencies are used... reception
not always too good during those times. Better to listen during the
late-afternoons.

Some, like me, may wonder what the Linconshire Poacher is. I found the
following at http://home.luna.nl/~ary/lp.htm

On the 27th February 2000 the Cyprus Broadcasting Corporation (CyBC)
broadcast a TV story on Numbers Stations. With help from Cypriot radio
amateurs, reporter George Georgiou managed to prove, using signal strength
and DF, that Lincolnshire Poacher is transmitting from a RAF Unit in the SBA
in Akrotiri. But, as DF showed, there could be another two, smaller
transmitters somewhere in the Middle East.

The main transmission, though, emanates from the RAF Unit in Akrotiri.

The site of transmission is the 12 Signals Unit of the RAF. Its
installations include many facilities, and LP is just a small part of them.
It's a very big site, so you can only see a part of it in the pictures. The
location of the Unit is in the British Sovereign Base Area of Akrotiri (in
the south of Cyprus) and the exact location is just next to the village of
Akrotiri. It is an ideal place for transmissions, with the sea surrounding
the Unit. in addition, there is also a salt lake nearby.

The info and pictures on this site come from George Georgiou, TV reporter
with the Cyprus Broadcasting Corporation (CyBC).

(Its a great site, have a look at the pictures).

Heard at my QTH in Cincinnati at 2200 on 5746 and 6959. That was a simple one.
