Intersoundradio:
I was looking for a "clean" short wave frequency to broadcast (wihout jammers, utility, maritime, etc.). One of the best I found is the 6.483 MHz., but how clean is this frequency in other parts of the world? ??

So please dear listener, can you tell me the situation about this frequency in your hometown/country?

rdla4:
This will most likely vary quite a bit depending on time of day---among other things.

Right now, 6483 is clear here, but does have some QRM from a utility station 0n 6487khz.

2217UTC in Georgia, USA

The problem, as always, with operating on a non-standard pirate frequency/band is that if no one knows you're there, they won't know to listen for you. And other than someone stumbling on your transmission, no one will likely hear it.

Absolutely correct!  Take it from me Intersound, one who has operated mainly as a "backwaters pirate" for the last 20+ years, Chris speaks the truth.  Unless you pre-announce, your audience will be VERY sparse and often will not be there at all.  If you crave "riches and fame", then stay within the established pirate zone(s) and brave the QRM/QRN like everybody else does.  But if that's NOT what drives you then... welcome to the dark corners.  There's plenty of free space and - you'll save on QSLs!

Malaysian Navy station 9MR uses 6483. Not sure if that is an issue for you (power/location ??). Also there was a Globe station on 6484.5  Tianjin Radio (China) but I don't know what their status is.
