If you’re unfamiliar with numbers stations check out our previous post on the subject<\/a>–and be sure to listen to David Goren’s production, “Seis Siete Tres Siete Cero<\/a>“.<\/p>\n

Along with pirate radio stations, I think numbers stations are one of the most sonically interesting catches we find while cruising the\u00a0ether. \u00a0When I happen upon one, no matter what language, I end up listening to them for way too long.

Want to hear the Lincolnshire Poacher live? It can be a bit tricky, but learn where they broadcast by visiting this page<\/a> and set the memories on your radio to scan those frequencies.<\/p>\n

Happy hunting!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
