« on: February 16, 2014, 2216 UTC »

Solid S7 signal here with string of numbers by the Poacher guy, IS, more numbers....crazy! {can anyone ID the little tune used as an IS?}
{After listening to my tape of last nights broadcast, I know better than to try and make sense of this! vegetarian, numbers played at high speed, and what is the name of that little tune they use for an IS?}
{After reviewing last nights posts and one from today, I guess the music is the "Lincolnshire Poacher"...have to look that up on google!}
2229 UTC off

Fascinating reading! I was not aware of this
