Title: UNID Portuguese Language 6955 kHz USB 2330+ UTC 31 July 2017

At first it seemed like somebody was tuning up on frequency, but then two-way traffic in SSB mode was noticed.  Usually 6955 kHz USB is used by pirates but these are almost certainly fishing fleets using HF-SSB radios modified for open band transmit (freeband frequency modification, or MARS/CAP mod - the radios are likely re-purposed amateur equipment given the heavy use of LSB mode).
