3465 kHz LSB French Language Comms [via G8JNJ SDR] 1745 UTC 5 Dec 2025

[R4002]

Lots of HF activity today, listening via UK based SDR receiver.  Tune in time:  1745 UTC. 

Frequency:  3.465 MHz   |   3465kHz   |   3,465.0 LSB
Language: French language comms, sounds like freebanders - out of band operators, lots of informal QSOs.  This portion of spectrum, right below the bottom edge of the 80 meter amateur band (that is, right below 3.500 MHz) is very popular, even though, like the 6.6 MHz band, there are a lot of legit aeronautical radio service users in the same band, 3400 kHz - 3500 kHz. 

Noting freebander activity on 3470 kHz LSB and 3475 kHz LSB as well.    Unfortunately, 3470 LSB directly interferes with 3473 kHz USB
