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).

Poacher can be found here if you haven't seen it
already:

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

That schedule is incorrect. 5746 is not used at 2200 on Saturdays at present.

Currently heard here at 2215 on 11545, 9251, 6959.

Then why did I hear it on that freq Steve? I logged it on 5746 and 6959 but I
didn't hear anything on 9251. {?}

Beats me, but it's incorrect.

Beats me, but it's incorrect.

Incorrect to me would mean that the LP didn't sign on at that time and on those
freqs. But they did. ;-)

Well, I checked 5746 after receiving your post and they were not there. They were
however on 11545, 9251 and 6959 at 2200 s/on as monitored here. I've not known them
to use more than 3 frequencies at once, nor have I seen any loggings that would
suggest that they do.

You did post your observation under a URL for a schedule that is known to be
incorrect.

As I stated before, beats me.

It might have been an error.

Hi dxAce

It looks like I can't get LP down here. At least not since I've been trying.
I'm no lame even though I'm only doing "our thing" for 8 months. But, I've
learned a great deal and have good equipment. I guess I have to catch him
under the best conditions.

Hey, I pick up plenty of good DX stations down here in Florida but no luck
for Lucky so far with LP.

Hang in there, you'll catch the Poacher.

Should be up at 1200 on 16084, 15682 and 14487.

Heard here on all three frequencies with the 'Poacher Tune', weak.
