Hearing SSB chatter on 5000 kHz USB 5.000 MHz USB with the WWV clicks in the background. They stopped for the voice announcements at 2230 UTC (from WWV). Not 100% sure on the language, but its certainly Spanish, Portuguese or Italian. Considering the fact that Skip heard similar signals previously and they've been logged on nearby frequencies...
Received via the Westminster, MD SDR

the "CB'er's" of 40m ;D

I noticed strong signals last night as well from the peskies.
BTW - The KiwiSDR has the sky loop antenna again, via a custom splitter that provides a slightly reduced signal level so it should not overload anymore. So performance should be back to how it was before I switched to the LoG antenna.

I will try and see if they're back on the frequency this evening, along with the various English and Spanish language nets heard in the 6-7 MHz region. Thanks Chris!
TheRelayStation, the CBers of 40 meters are usually found in the 6600-7000 kHz range or the 6500-7000 kHz range, 5000 kHz is a new one for them (I think they're more than likely fishing fleets using out of band frequencies, the [in]famous pescadores).
