Strong signal just popped up on 6940 USB, rock music.

1247
10.698 MHz USB 10698 kHz USB Spanish speakers UNID possibly fishing fleets or freebanders, outbanders, pirates bootleggers etc two-way radio traffic HF band

Similar to traffic heard on same frequency band (10 MHz band) 10272 kHz USB at the same time, only weaker and more sporadic.  Possibly an alternate frequency??

1248
UNID Spanish language traffic 10.272 MHz USB / 10272 kHz USB

Hearing one side of a QSO in Spanish on 10272 USB.  About S2-S3 just barely readable with some fading.  Now hearing a much weaker station (also in Spanish).  Not sure if conditions have changed or if this is the other side of the QSO (or if there's multiple stations in a "roundtable" or net format).  Now (2049 UTC) hearing the usual "hola!" greeting common to 11 meter freebanders and 43 meter freebanders, perhaps this is their "30 meter" band :D

Informal chatter going at 2050 UTC.  Multiple stations going at once at points, causing severe QRM.  Possibly fishing fleets. 

1249
6.920.4 MHz 6.9204 MHz 6920.4 kHz Portuguese/Spanish speakers (switching languages, as a couple words of English have also been heard) freebanders pescadores etc - Seems like only one station right now. 

Sounds like somebody doing radio checks, OM keeps repeating "Hola hola 1..2...3...Hola! Hola!"

Possibly somebody trying out a new radio, frequency is 6920.4 kHz LSB, but it may be closer to 6920.37 kHz.  Hearing some off-frequency SSB QRM down in the noise underneath the transmissions on 6920.4 LSB

I logged into a remote SDR at 2317 UTC and tuned back in and am still able to hear only the OM saying "hola one two hola one two" and "what?"  Not exactly sure what I'm hearing here...

1250
Two way traffic 6.9365 MHz 6936.5 kHz LSB, pretty sure it was Spanish but didn't get a decent copy due to other signals on frequency.  6936.5 LSB vs. 6935 USB means a very messy copy.

Causing heavy QRM to Moonlight Radio pirate on 6935 kHz USB before they disappeared, almost right after Moonlight Radio went QSY down to 6925 kHz USB. 

6936.5 kHz is now clear

1251
Moonlight Radio, 6925 kHz USB (originally started transmitting on 6935 kHz USB, but was only on that frequency for a minute or so)

Pink Floyd music intro, YL ID "Moonlight Radio", then severe QRM from pescadores or freebanders chatting away on 6936.5 kHz LSB...followed by a QSY to 6925 kHz USB at around 0111 UTC.

Back to "Shine On You Crazy Diamond"

1252
6887 kHz / 6.887 MHz USB mode. 

Early logs for this frequency band!  Usually its not until the sun goes down that the 43 meter Spanish speaking freebanders pop up.  Weak copy right now (just shy of 2200 UTC on June 25th, 2017). 

1253
Hearing World Radio 2040 (WR2040), also IDed as WR204 or unit 204 Battle Creek Michigan with very loud audio working another, unheard station, on 27.445 MHz LSB - 27445 kHz LSB 27.445 LSB.  S9 to S9+30 signal running a Yaesu FT-847 and a 2 element Yagi beam antenna.

1254
Starting at 2022 UTC, frequency 26.675 MHz AM mode 26675 kHz AM - that's CB channel 14 [27.125 MHz] down one band.

Hearing more trucker-like chatter, this time below CB channel 1, with QRM from 26.705 and 26.715 (the usual).  Two OMs talking, both with decent modulation, on 26.675 AM.   Both have good sounding radios (no overmodulation here).  Talking about traffic and general comments about female drivers, the usual trucker stuff.  S6-S7 signals with very little fade.

1255
Hearing a very strong station at 2015 UTC + talking about operators on 20 meters "ruining it for the rest of us".  Very strong signals, S9 to S9+30.  "I look forward to having you on the amateur bands...you know there's no difference...the only thing is 10 meters is completely dead, you can go to 40 or 20 or 15, somewhere there's conditions...otherwise it's basically the same as 11 meter sideband". 

"I hang out on 27.425 and 27.595"  - talking about getting amateur radio licenses and the difference between the tech class license and the general class license and then the lack of difference between general and extra class licenses. 

ID "1762 Todd" working "Dave in Atlanta".  1762 went QRT at 2020 UTC, and other stations started calling Dave in Atlanta (and 1762!) even though 1762 has gone QRT.

1256
Very heavy SSB activity on the following legal CB channels:

Channel 37 - 27.375 MHz LSB 37LSB or 27375 LSB
Channel 38 - 27.385 MHz LSB 38LSB or 27385 LSB - Primary North American SSB CB DX Calling Frequency Channel
Channel 39 - 27.395 MHz LSB 39LSB or 27395 LSB 
Channel 40 - 27.405 MHz LSB 40LSB or 27405 LSB - often hear AM activity on channel 40, but strong SSB signals were punching through the AM QRM this afternoon between 1800 and 2000 UTC. 

1257
Michigan, Virginia, several provinces in Canada, North Carolina, Indiana, New Jersey, New York, and several other North American stations heard working DX (including having long in-depth QSOs) on 27.555 MHz USB.  Several stations following proper amateur radio procedure by IDing and asking "is this frequency in use?" and then calling CQ, followed by a long QSO between World Radio 2040 (also IDed as WR204) Battle Creek, Michigan working VS704 (also IDed as Victor Sierra 704 and Virginia Sidebanders 704) Richmond, Virginia on 27.555 USB prior to going QSY and other stations moving onto the frequency.

ABS1 Bob Springfield, IL now QSX and listening at 2012 UTC.  Unable to hear the station ABS1 is working at 2013, likely propagation changing.

1258
Lots and lots of activity all over the 11 meter band today.  Worked lots of DX with a barefoot radio (switched between a Galaxy 959 and a Superstar 3900 with only a Hustler IC-100 magnetic mount CB antenna).

Now hearing two truckers talking about oil pumps on 27.505 MHz AM (channel 8 up one band, but commonly known as "channel 50") at 2005 UTC.  Now hearing SSB QRM from 27.500 MHz USB.  New York or New Jersey accents.  These two stations know each other and are likely very close to each other going by the content of their conversation.  They also don't seem to mind the heavy SSB QRM that I'm hearing here.

1259
"Sitting here with my Galaxy DX 959".  Several operators working DX "DT1290 New Jersey Operator Bob" "The New Jersey Wild Man" and lots of other stations, some of them mobile, working DX around 1720-1722 UTC on 25 June 2017.  Lots of AM activity above channel 40 today.

1260
Lots of Spanish language traffic, some of it extremely overmodulated and distorted (reminds me of 27025...) with 30-40 kHz wide splatter signals.  Destroying weaker signals on 26.735 MHz.

Mention of Puerto Rico and Dominican Republic.  This frequency 26.715 MHz (as well as 26.705 MHz and 26.725 MHz) are all associated with Puerto Rico and other Latin American "Big Gun" AM stations.
