This is a fun simulation of a real numbers station called Lincolnshire Poacher (Active Since 1972 - 2008, It Still Rarely And Randomly Broadcasts), click the green flag to begin the simulation! How The Lincolnshire Poacher And Most Numbers Stations Worked: The first grouping (which is repeated 10 times) is the "key ID". It is used to indicate the correct page of a One Time Pad (OTP) that is used to decrypt the message. All other groups are repeated twice (to mitigate errors through interference) and contain the coded message. The code is unbreakable assuming the pad is never reused and eventually destroyed and remains secret. OTP's are frequently used in asymmetric communications to agents on the ground.
100% By Me Facts About This Station: 1. It Is Located At 'RAF Akrotiri' In Cyprus. 2. Has A Sister Station Called "Cherry Ripe" Link >>> https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/852707935/ 3. Although It Ceased Broadcasting In Early 2009, The Lincolnshire Poacher Did Come Back On Air Briefly In 2022 Due To The Ukraine Conflict! It Has Rarely Broadcast Since, Meaning If You Come Across It, You Are Lucky, As It Will Soon Stop Until It's Needed Again (In 2022 It Only Broadcast 3 Times!). Enjoy! :D
