On the 27th February 2000 the Cyprus Broadcasting Corporation (CyBC) broadcasted 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. | |
