Linconshire Poacher Signed off 19:45
 

I'm in Florida, and for the life of me, I can't get this poacher in. Can
anyone recommend a frequency and time for me? I already tried the schedule
from a couple sites and I never can catch it.

They are audible here on most any given day. Make sure you are using USB.

Your best bet would probably be in the afternoon, on the higher frequencies.

I had to try a bunch of frequencies before I found one that worked;
look in this list for linconshire poacher...( here some)

Hearin LP at 2000 s/on on 11545 an 10426. 10426 very weak.

Heard a test tone on 11545 starting at 1949. I've heard these test tones
prior
to s/on on other frequencies/times as well.

Also heard here at 20:15. Audible on 10426 but there is heavy QRN. It is
stronger on 11545 with minimal QRN.

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

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.

dxAce

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).

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.

didn't hear anything on 9251. {?}

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.

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.

( & Congratulations, BTW )

- I don't think the transmitters in England; I think in Cypress

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 ;-)
