Talk:Lincolnshire Poacher (numbers station)

message: There are a handful of "numbers twitters" that have popped up (https://twitter.com/SierraGolf5, https://twitter.com/cynthiafortune, https://twitter.com/ZuluTango4 to name a few), and SG5 (SierraGolf5) appears to be an obvious homage to this numbers station.

message: According to this article, it is the same five numbers transmitted over and over again. If this station was some sort of spy message, why is it the same number year after year?   — Preceding unsigned comment added by 195.192.72.175 (talk) 07:44, 14 June 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  One thing I don't understand 

message: There was a spy masqueading as a Dutch antiques dealer who was caught red-handed by MI5 in the 1980s listening to a Czech numbers station and deciphering the message with a one-time pad.  The name escapes me though.  He was listening on a basic Japanese-made world radio.  Using numbers stations to as a means of communicating with illegals easily can, has been, and no doubt still routinely is done by governments worldwide.BaseTurnComplete 16:53, 11 October 2006 (UTC)

message: If you have a photo of a radio broadcasting the LP, this article is in a great need of a photo. Please post one if possible. Cheers, writers-block-14♠(talk) 23:11, 4 May 2010 (UTC)

message: Just watched Vanilla Sky and during the murder scene where he suffocates the girl you can hear the numbers being read out and the tune of the Lincolnshire poacher (about 1:41:25) just as she expires.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.73.86.98 (talk) 19:42, 18 July 2012 (UTC)

This seems to be somehow related and calls into question, "is this station really dead?"  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.134.102.136 (talk) 07:13, 5 November 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: It's sourced content and those sentences attribute the source. Even if it's a cockamamie story, it's sourced content. Do not edit war over this. Chris Troutman (talk) 12:34, 21 June 2019 (UTC)

text: It doesn't matter, the source itself is pure speculation, and you even say yourself it is wholly unbelievable. Why on Earth does Wikipedia allow such tripe on their articles as long as they're "sourced"? The guy who found this source is also clearly some creepypasta kiddie who hasn't a clue what they're talking about judging by their edits. Find me a more believable source and I will stop engaging in this ridiculous edit war. 7REPTILLIAN7 (talk) 02:37, 22 June 2019 (UTC)

message: If Cherry Ripe was based in Australia or Guam, both of which are in Oceania, and the voice on it is an English-accented voice according to its article, what makes it an Asian numbers station? 86.7.177.177 (talk) 18:17, 7 May 2021 (UTC)
