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.

OK!

Finally heard her on 15682 but, I had to use the 4Khz AM filter to hear it.
Very, very faint.
I could make out the tune well but the numbers were hard to recognize. I
turned off AGC and adjusted the RF gain. Need to use headphones for sure.
But finally! I heard it. Looks like I need to use the 4Khz filter.

Best luck NOT at local Noontime / Dan


Untrue. It merely depends on what frequencies LP is using, and the
propagation
conditions at the time from Cyprus, the supposed location of LP.

I've been hearing them on all frequencies used since start-up this morning
at
1200.

The ONLY time I might have a problem here with one or more of the
frequencies
used is if LP shifts to something like 5xxx MHz in my early afternoon,
when the
signal might not propagate.

Thanks. I find it amazing I'm picking this up from England. I wonder what
receiver these use themselves to get the code. I'm also surprised no one has
broken the code yet to some degree.

Actually, the transmission is coming from Cyprus, or possibly some other Eastern
Mediterranean site, but most likely from Cyprus.

That's still nice and far away though. Ever hear any CIA transmissions?

Well, the CIA has been reputed to use numbers transmissions for years, so yes,
I'm sure I've heard some, as have many others.

( & Congratulations, BTW )

- I don't think the transmitters in England; I think in Cypress
( Do A google search on Linconshire Poacher )

And , they're probably using a " One Time Pad" snyched for a specific day ..

probably short messages anyway; no time to have a real conversation...

Well, I checked 5746 after receiving your post and they were not there.

Hmm, imagine that. Can't be heard in Michigan but can be heard in Cincinnati on
two of three freqs that were/are incorrect.

When I get some time, I'll check the 'correct' freqs ;-)
