Yosemite Sam Solved

In this instalment I wanted to revisit a mysterious station. One that was classified as a numbers station and who’s purpose was revealed, but one that confused listeners just over a decade ago when it appeared on the bands with a familiar voice.
The voice would repeat ‘What the hell are you reading books for.” Token said that the station sounded like a recorded loop of Homer Simpson from the TV show The Simpsons, saying “What the hell are you reading books for?”
What wasn’t known at that time was the Homer Simpson transmissions were related to some prior unusual oddities that were noted on May 17th, 2012. They may have been first heard on November 5th, 2011, on 21450.7 kHz.
A listener heard a broadcast on 6990 kHz, at 0041 UTC on May 17th, 2012. A male voice said "She had your dark suit in greasy wash water all year. Don't ask me to carry an oily rag like that. They used an aggressive policeman to flag thoughtless motorists".
The numbers and oddities website in 2013 had somehow managed to identify these strange transmissions and claimed that they were used for the training of signals intelligence operators.
The final transmission signaling nuclear war impending will be
D’oh. D’oh. D’oh. D’oh. D’oh. D’oh. D’oh. D’oh.
Or "Oh you little!"
"Stupid Sexy Flanders...", then BOOM! 😂
Makes sense since Homer works in a Nuclear Center
@@ValetravelgamesFor energy. Not missiles.
@@LordVader1094I would not be surprised if burns casually had nukes
Can't wait for Bart to go on there and repeatedly say "Don't have a cow, man."
Can't sleep... Clown will eat me...
I am Simpson.
@darkdiamonds4337 DONTTT- DONT HAVE COWW, MAN
I want Marge to go "Mmmm" on there
Dont have a cow, man. Dont have a cow, man. Dont have a co-

It's funny because when I was like 8 I got one of those cheap toy pdas that had a radio built in and my local Fox news station would actually broadcast the TV over the radio, and many times I've listened to full episodes of The Simpsons on that little thing so this was actually a nice little memory of that:)
I'm guessing you grew up in Milwaukee or Birmingham, right?
@@GeorgeLiquor Nope, San Diego Cali
Let me guess it was channel 6. NTSC channel 6(aka analog TV) broadcasts its audio just below the typical commercial FM band meaning most consumer radios could pick it up.
@@filanfyretracker Bingo
I used to have a radio that could pick up TV stations. It had a certain setting for that.
Marge: Homer, What do you doing in the number station?
DOH!!!!
Lisa tricked me.
But Maaaaarge...
Look Marge, you don't know what it's like - I'm the one out there every day putting his ass on the line. And I'm not out of order! You're out of order! The whole freaking system is out of order! You want the truth? You want the truth? You can't handle the truth! 'Cause when you reach over and put your hand into a pile of goo that was your best friend's face, you'll know what to do!! Forget it Marge, it's Chinatown!!!
I got bored at the plant and tapped in to power a radio.
the quote is from The Simpsons S05E12 "Bart Gets Famous"
Edit: welp, this was in the video. that's what I get for commenting early
🤦 < me seeing this comment after googling the quote lol
I don't remember it though... And I've watched every single episode
Never mind.
What the hell you eating books for
I didn't do it.
A woozle wazzle.
Biblically accurate Homer confuses everyone
Yeah ... Nightmare fuel...

Perfectly cromulent comment.
So Smrt
Why does this frighten me so much, yet I can't get away from being interested and fascinated.
Cause it's evidence there are things you aren't allowed to know
Because they could be talking about very bad things and you have no idea.
bored people like to imagine boring things like sigint training signals are more exciting, because they feel it will make them more exciting to think about them. Nothing against you, but it's best to _do_ things to _be_ more exciting and less bored. As far as this video goes, it's fun and interesting, but it's not at all frightening
I think yall misunderstand what I mean. The sound of the transmissions is frightening and eerie, but also very interesting.
@@ALaughingManI totally get what you're saying.
"What the hell are you eating bush for!?"
😂
If you have to ASK, well...🤭
Hungry and it was hot and juicy
Because I care about my partner’s satisfaction?
@@Allan_aka_RocKITEman Underrated comment.
Thats it, thats the one
The moment I saw this, I had a theory that the voice is simply there for signal ID, and the real information is nearby and digital. You appear to confirm this when you mention that it is often very wide band audio, and RTTY and other digital data is in band. Surely that is the actual info!
The stuff that’s coming through is a tone out from their transmitter meaning you don’t have the hardware needed to put tones over the top of the signal to hear it. It’s like a telephone exchange but you don’t have the right SIM card to access the network.
Are you talking about radio steganography?
So military units all over the world have a constant loop protocols it’s a steadfast radio check to ensure critical and clandestine communications . Not only for testing and calibration, but also camouflage of important traffic.
Camouflage of Important Traffic: By broadcasting a loop continuously, you can mask the initiation of more critical communication. When the important message needs to be sent, it could be embedded within or replace the loop, making it less noticeable amidst the constant noise.
Also Triggering a Response: The loop might be designed to provoke a specific response from an adversary, which can be monitored. Once the desired response is detected, the real communication or action can be initiated.
Any questions?
Also it’s not read books. Season 11 ep 5 of the Simpsons.
Homer says “What the hell are you EATING books for?”
But, why animated shows? I mean they could make another sercet code
@@Unless-feature boys will be boys , obscurity is key to prevent the enemy from becoming aware.
@@theofficialsoldierthatreviews All online transcripts of the episode say "reading", not "eating." It's also clear as day in the actual clip of the episode included in the video. So unless the closed captions on the DVD/BluRay/Streaming versions of the show are any different, I am sticking with "reading." 5:24
@@OtakuUnitedStudio I’m sorry but your wrong, in this excerpt from the Simpsons Homer is talking to a pig literally eating a book.
You have absolutely no clue how baffled i was to see the thumbnail, making me read the title for clarity, leaving me with only more questions
Exactly my experience as well lol
Does anyone else remember this? I'm in the UK and was listening to a typical numbers station with the woman reading out numbers. All of a sudden she stopped reading the numbers and shouted "I can't read this! The printing is blurred!" I'd always presumed the number sets were generated by a computer, but apparently not always.
Or they put this clip in thier transmission to make people think exactly that.
Kinda reminds me of the 90's with IRC flooders and AOL punters spamming channels/rooms with ASCII art, Homer was a big one back then as well until South Park came along.
I miss IRC
@@RT-qd8ylit's still there
Oh man, progs/punters/warez were so fun! Till AOL changed it up. Till eventually there was almost nothing on them that worked
I got my ARL 'recently' and I've been sat with my handheld on random scan looking for something to listen to.
I came across your channel not too long ago and I sit here dragging my jaw on the floor in amazement longing to know 1% of what you know.
To say I feel somewhat lost and bewildered wouldn't even scratch the surface.
I like your videos but I really feel like a goldfish. A world of knowledge out there but I'm stuck in a see-through cage I can't seem to get through.
There are lots of books you can read about radio.
Reccomendations below please. ⬇
I discovered these a couple of years ago. They are fascinating! So I showed my 8-year-old. He legit still spins around, with my detachable vacuum hose and sings the Lincolnshire poacher tune😂. It’s friggin adorable.
The Lincolnshire Poacher station was always one of the creepiest to me.
@@chandranapier2259 yeah. It is, but him doing that just made me laugh like a maniac.
@@coffeecat086well it is a well known song in the UK thus why it was used for the station. Most of the time when one hears it, it’s not a distorted, fuzzy mess followed by a reading of numbers to be correlated in a spy number book.
It sounds like Homer Simpson’s voice with Peter Griffin’s dialect.
It's like they did the Fusion Dance
So Homer Simpson with a coastal New England accent.
Remembah da time me and Homah put on the potaria earrings and fused?
no it just sounds like homer
@@havoc1482 Specifically a Rhode Island Accent, Specifically Cranston/Johnston region
These kind of things creep me out because you never know what the real goal was. The number of times it happened makes you feel like it wasn't someone screwing around having a laugh. At the same time though you have no way to know if it was malicious or not.
this time it sounds a lot more like "reading books" than "eating bush" than the first time you covered it 😂
My first thought was that Homer’s phrase has 8 words in it. By cutting out words in the third broadcast you can encode one byte of data.
This really creeps me out, I don't know why.
Same here, it's hard to explain it
I think (for me at least) it has to do with repetitive looping. Idk why, but things in a constant loop can often sound creepy, almost hypnotic (like a record skip for example. The Strangers does a good example. Or the ""Jesus Christ, help us all Lord" from the Mayday Incident video) and the fact that we're hearing familiar voices being used for serious and secretive purposes, giving off a mysterious vibe in general.
It's the scratchiness of the sound for me that makes it creepy and mysterious lol.
My brain is like “oh it’s just a weird transmission of homers voice” but something about it just feels creepy
Okay, so it's not my imagination. The Token recording at 3:34 with each iteration of the transmission we get further along in the third line. Has this ever been commented on before?
This was my thought. I wonder if the number of repeats or how many words it says before it cuts off encodes something.
@@alsothejiraguy
Quick! To the Bat Cave!
Unfortunately the clip isn't long enough. When I guess when I get back from Florida I'm going to have to start following RW's breadcrumbs and see if I can find a longer recording out there.
But the first part slowly cuts off - it’s just the way the line loops within the timeframe between the recordings
For some reason radio transmissions like this always make me think of Aliens sending messages lol sick video!
Aliens being confused on why humans are still reading paper media
I spent much of my childhood in the ‘70’s exploring the shortwave. It was so fun.
A wide assortment of Simpson audio cuts have been on 43 meters for years in North America. They still occur from time to time even on freqs with hams behaving badly as we say ...😂
They play steamed hams?
I thought I recognized a Boston accent in that Aggressive Policeman!
Fascinating!! Thank You! I've rekindled my Short wave hobby again!
1:21 bro be listening to Mr New Vegas and black mountain radio 😭
Oh, Tabitha is the best DJ you can dream about.
@@t1czereveryone loves best friend Tabitha
I don't know anything about radio so I'm not sure why this popped up on my recommended but this is fascinating! I'm going to have to learn more now...
"She had your dark suit in greasy wash water all year."
Happens to the best of us.
Cool one Lewis. Thanks.
Thanks so much
Maybe aliens sent it after watching our reruns
D'oh!
But did that first guy ever tell us what the hell they were reading books for? I feel like were missing a crucially insignificant piece of the puzzle.
Probably for an intelligent school project they gotta do stuff for
Can you imagine hearing the family guy? Intro but you hear it over and over again. And it’s like on the radio station it’s going to repeat yourself over and over again hearing out on the radio when you’re driving around
This is actually quite chilling to listen to... chilling yet intriguing. What's even more interesting to me regarding the line that Homer repeats on that particular frequency comes from an episode which first aired in the same decade that one of my tractors was built, staticy radio and all.
While I suspect it's extremely unlikely the radio on the tractor in question would ever pickup on that particular frequency, I can't help but picture the eerie thought in my head of doing long hours in the field late at night with nothing but static on the radio, then suddenly you just hear Homer Simpson talk through the static repeating a single line of dialogue over and over again. That, would be scary.
I have no idea why I even feel the need to share this. Not once in my 26 years of life have I found an irrational fear that has shocked me to the point of tearing up. What in the actual fk have I just triggered within myself.
"intelligence stuff to talk about"
It's most likely just a trigger signal to do something involving some military operation. It's actually really clever. You'd have to know in advance what you're looking for where and when. And also the context of the trigger signal. It's actually genius
Uh huh
What context?
What fucking rabbit hole did I find myself in at 2 AM and why is it low-key kind of fire?
What the hell are you breeding rooks for?
keeps the pigeons away
Average earth Pokemon fan.
Those Harvard Sentences, some of them read like prog rock lyrics from the 70s…
I can totally imagine a navy practice instructor use the phrase "what are you reading books for" as teaching material😂.
I live in Mayport. Very cool and unexpected to hear it being mentioned here! Excellent and interesting video, thanks for making it.
Great. The second you actually played the audio i ended up blacking out for 12 hours and just woke up on the other side of town
there’s something about shortwave oddities/radio broadcasts that seem like they’re trying to communicate something in covert that makes me break into tears. its so unsettling to have haunting broadcasts coming from a frequency type humans have been using for longer than anyone alive. thats old, grainy, and auditory only. but at the same time, ive ALWAYS had a morbid desire to find a number station or something along those lines, feeling like that would actually scare me so much id probably throw my handheld radio as a kid. i remember finding a station as a kid that was just the same three or four jazz/blues songs all day, every day.
"makes me break into tears"
lmao!
This reminds me of the countless hours I spent listening to SDR trying to figure out what Skyking messages meant. Good stuff!!
lol, do you mean THAT skyking...?
@@the20thDoctor Not sure what Skyking you are referring to, though I could take a guess. Skyking are encoded military messages that get sent out on certain frequencies. Usually just a bunch of gibberish in the NATO phonetic alphabet. Someone had told me if you heard a message starting with 3 Skykings it was orders to go to war, but who knows if thats true?? LOL I wasnt listening to SDR for mesages from God though. There are some recorded Skyking messages on You tube though. I guess its neat to listen to how NATO communicates, but I spent far too many hours listening to that undecipherable nonsense.
@@the20thDoctor Ahh, I just saw the video on your channel. I had heard of that guy, but never heard of him being called Skyking. Did he identify himself as Skyking?? Skyking is a pretty well known topic among SDR listeners, I wonder if that guy listened in??
RIP Skyking, Keep Flyin
I have no idea what I just watched, or why I watched it, yeah I don't know what made me want to watch this, but it was fun the whole way through.
Do I like radio stuff, or do I like silly mysteries, maybe both? I never liked radio stuff growing up, you know Internet videos about number stations and that kind of thing, and as far as mysteries go, I don't think I've ran into one that flat out stumped me, or didn't ask me to believe in silly stuff so I can feel spooked...
I don't know, but I enjoyed this video.
Subbed!
I recently fell down this HAM hole (so to speak) and understand about .02% of the radio theory behind it and possess even less knowledge of the radios themselves. But there's just something about all of this that won't let me move on to another dumb distraction. I'm hooked and bought a cheap baofeng (sp?) radio for less than $20. My goal is to eventually speak with David Letterman.
My world to hear "I'm in Danger!" On repeat over a radio frequency like this.
Sounds almost like Grandpa Simpson more than Homer, in a way...
"In my day we didn't have the radio, we only had long bits of string and a tin can for each of us!"
Thanks for the video Lewis! The best from LB1NH 🙂
6:49 wiggum, little wigum and the doctor !
That sounds like mr smithers
I hear Ralph/Flanders/Lovejoy/Apu/Lovejoy
Downright spooky to listen to!
I love these intriguing anomalies 👍👍🏴🏴
I know what the line was from it was the episode where bart was the "I didn't do it" kid. He was going to appear on a show so he wanted to learn stuff to make the host impressed. But the host only wanted bart to say I didn't do it so all of the time he was studying _BOOKS_ was a waste. And that was the reason was homer saying why are you reading books.
pirates took over a month ago or so, hours of a loop with a guy screaming about aliens
7:25 IDKW but that image on my TV is both creepy and funny at the same time, like something I'd expect to see from a Treehouse of Horror episode.
Im suprised the numbers stations dont troll each other
9:02 love this, thanks for the explanation
The static makes it sound like he said "what the hell are you eating books for"

Naval Base Kitsap-- the subs are there. Have to listen to this again. Kitsap had different name in past but is now consolidated.
Fun fact: conan o brien was a writer on the simpsons, i believe with bob odenkirk too(saul goodman), so the reference was funny
9:30 hehe I once read harvard sentences over the yankee stadium announcer system to help them test it
YOU HAVE THE STYLE OF A 60 YEAR OLD RAHHHHHHHHHHHHH 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
That's not Homer Simpson, that's Abraham Jebediah "Abe" Simpson II ;)
I can't help but be more amazed by your radio costing $1,100! That's unpossible!
5:57 are we just... are we just skipping over this one??????

A few years ago, i made an AM radio at home, and when i turned it on i vaguely remembered hearing a simpsons line
Oh the good Ole days.
7:16 my favorite radio frequency on the dial is definitely DOH MHz!
Ive watched so many episodes of North Woods Law, to me the voice, repeating, The dark suit, aggressive policeman voice, the accent is Massachusetts or New Hampshire USA. The words, dark, water, year, to me have that north eastern twang.
I was wondering about this one, whether it was prevalent in the airwaves or it was a one time thing
Thanks to First Token for the footage
6:30 Me fail grammar? That's unpossible!
8:30 I've also heard phrases like that used over HF to train neural networks
Huh I was just rewatching some old rm number station videos then this came out! What a coincidence
This is probably just a coded broadcast that can be deciphered if you know the key. Anybody, even a field agent could setup and get a broadcast of a repeated signal. This would be an especially useful way to communicate with subs. Deploy an antenna or surface for a bit to catch the broadcast, dive down and decipher it and follow orders.
My money is testing a pirate/illegal transmitter

I havent watched the simpsons in a decade but this got me in the mood
I have not heard "Token" in quite a while, he used to hang around on priyom's past Freenode channel.
I believe the clip was on a website called shortwave oddities or radio oddities something like that.
I suspect that Token guy is still around ;) And still in the Priyom Libera IRC as well as Discord. I am generally there, I just typically don't say a lot unless someone directly addresses me.
Hope someday they find a DALEKS radio that says phrases from the show. "Daaaaleeekkk reeeee'"
Makes me wonder if there'll be one of, like, Blitzø or Rick Sanchez next, lol.
I'd kill to see an Angel Dust station
