Peskies / Re: UNID 6919 LSB 0030 UTC 16 JUN 2023

Some of the ones in SS literally are pirates. They lay in wait off the coast of Nicaragua and Honduras and intercept the cocaine speedboats coming up the Caribbean coast. They also prey on yachts. It's a lucrative business, either way around. The islands and the coasts of Central America on the Caribbean side create a lot of bottle necks, as does the Panama Canal for yachts.

On the Pacific side, the coke boats stay further out to sea and make the direct run to western Mexico. You can thank all the North American cokeheads for big loads worth all the money that create the piracy and the blood.

Interesting, what frequencies do those guys use? I am sure the 6919 LSB guys are hams, I saw one sending a waterfall image of the International Amateur Radio Union logo a while ago. The 6925 LSB guys are probably fishermen. The 6900 guys are also ham pirates in the western US and western Mexico.

S7 on the PY2-81502 KiwiSDR in Brazil. This is a common Peskie frequency in Brazil and music and jamming is fairly common. This particular case seems to be a Peskie broadcast, not jamming.

QSLs Received / Re: CFVP 6030 AM eQSL

« on: June 15, 2023, 2146 UTC »

I may stay up late tonight and try to hear CFVP before they pull the plug on the signal (last I checked today via an SDR, they were still running the shutdown announcement on a loop). I tried last night, but Radio Marti was just covering that signal too well.

I'm going to miss this odd shortwave station, which lies only ~600 miles away from me. But as an MW DXer as well, Bell Media's shutdown affects four AM stations I can hear fairly easily from my location near Seattle. I first logged some of those stations nearly 40 years ago. The radio dial is suddenly going to seem much quieter.

Sorry, they pulled the plug already. Still there at 1930 UTC but gone by 2129 UTC.

If you have any old reception reports or recordings, I would send them to Harold Sellers (QSL manager). I sent in my 30 second recording from January on my Sony ICF-2010 and got that verified.
