A British Intelligence Numbers Station In Australia - E03a Cherry Ripe 

Deep breath, kiddo.

Icom? Where? Timestamp

​@IdiotInChief He's a well known channel troll

@@TymexComputing 2:43 is where I see an Icom IC-705

What secrets are being given out?

🤣🤣😂😂

So sad it's true...and hilarious!🤣

Electricity would be less expensive in Austraila if they burned tires and garbage to make electricity... 😎👍

Motherwell nil. Partick Thistle nil.

@@eadweard. That is a sure flatliner...............

It's also the natural way most people read a 2-line picture macro meme. Top line with a rising inflection, delivery line with a descending inflection.

Thanks Stephan! Enjoy! There’s plenty to be getting on with haha

I asked last time too. Hopefully he sees this comment and considers it.

Haarp is actually just a really powerful radio station/transmitter to study the ionosphere. Look up ghosts in the air glow (they have a website for it), also there's multiple videos on RU-vid. "Ghosts in the Air Glow is an ionospheric transmission art project using the HAARP Ionospheric Research Instrument to play with the liminal boundaries of earth's atmosphere and outer space" With that being said I'm not sure he would want the massive wave of morons in the comments saying that HAARP is a weapon or other BS conspiracy theories. Tech mind's already did a video on HAARP and the comments are very infuriating

This comes up in the comments of every numbers station video. Yes, the internet is a thing, but so is national internet censorship. People in North Korea or Iran can't get onto any Western websites but they can listen to shortwave radio from a smuggled set - or even a perfectly legal one, if Shortwave radios are legal and common in that country. Even if an agent can normally get online, a shortwave numbers station may be a useful backup means of communication. It doesn't go down when a construction worker rips up a fibre optic cable ...

Ahh another "but the internet" comment. The internet is unreliable and easily blocked.

‘Mr Standfast’ was also a work name used by George Smiley.

Interesting... This is a great tidbit to pull out next time we watch "Victor/Victoria."

British arrogance knows no bounds

Cuban Lady for sure as I've heard it even in Slovakia. Anyway in the night you should catch some because they run high power transmitters in SSB. Oh and by the way EAMs (4724 kHz and other frequencies) should be available as they're global.

Thunder Dome?

@@spacewolfjr Two men enter....one man leaves!

@@AdamSWL Bust a deal, spin the wheel!

@@RCAvhstape GULAG!!! GULAG!!!

I hope by "pretty good" you mean truly awful. Theres a reason they were discontinued.

@@kaymish6178 they're still available. I don't like 'em myself though. Coconut and cherries are a waste of chocolate in my opinion.

Probably a Bingo caller using a cheap wireless mic down at the RSL.

@@AdamSWL I'd go along with that theory, but I don't recall any mention of little ducks or fat ladies on the transmissions :0)

It would be an odd choice to transmit out of Melbourne rather than up north, unless they were trying to reach agents operating in Tasmania. The 1980s were interesting times in Tassie, though, so who knows?

Yeah, that radar is a mickey mouse bit of gear, let me tell you.

DSTO engineers in the 1973. Stolen by the yanks. The USA is Australia's biggest enemy.

Oh man, yes!

As far as mass produced choccy goes, yeah they’re my fave

They’re not too bad, although best avoided by professional drivers (the combination of ingredients results in the bars containing just enough alcohol to register a breathalyser reading, which can be a problem if your licence has a .00 limit).

Oi Oi Oi 🤣

I love how RU-vid offered to translate "Aussie Aussie Aussie, Oi Oi Oi" to English :)

From reading online looks to be a hoax. On Reddit people explain why it links to a guy who lived in Aldershot. Who was big into this sort of thing.

He mentions in nearly every video and description the video is simply random radio related B-roll he shoots himself. Zero relation to the stations being discussed.

Usually just a regular shortwave set, nothing that would cause suspicion if captured

They didn't send a response via radio. It was one way communication with any responses sent via dead drops and likely ending up in a diplomatic pouch. One former spy who later wrote a book on being a double agent after being caught (I can't recall his name but I'm sure someone will) said that responses took months to get back.

Even if the mode of transmission required a program to decode [Ana Belen Montes or Heidrun Anschlag for example] a laptop and radio with shortwave would never look out of place in a home today.

No, you mean British Intelligence - i.e. Burgess, Maclean, Philby and Blunt (oh and Cairncross for good measure).

I mean yeah, we’re the “lucky country”.. as in dumb luck 😂

Pine Gap says hi.

Not cool

Are you connected to wifi? We invented that.
