10/11 meters / Fishnet Beacons (Radio Buoys) Long Keydown + Morse IDs 9 April 2025 [G8JNJ SDR]

« on: April 09, 2025, 1317 UTC »

Received via G8JNJ SDR today 9 April 2025, around 1300 UTC - 1305 UTC.

Frequencies given are carrier frequencies, if you're tuning in USB mode, its 1.4 kHz or 1.5 kHz down in frequency (or 2 kHz down, to make things easier) - so 26.878 MHz or 26.879 MHz instead of 26.880 MHz).  I've heard of these things being heard on the 26 MHz NZ CB band (26.330 MHz - 26.770 MHz - the NZ 26 MHz band follows the regular 26.965 MHz - 27.405 MHz CB band plan, just all channels are -635 kHz).  Given that these things seem to mostly follow a 5 kHz step band plan, that makes sense. 

All the signals feature a multi-second tone burst (or just carrier keydown), followed by a CW identifier.  The signals are all regular old CW, not modulated CW.  I should just call them Morse code fishing net driftnet beacons.   There are several FSK beacons also active, which are likely the same concept only they're transmitting a GPS location via fast FSK.

26.350 MHz - UNID driftnet beacon, unable to copy due to POCSAG paging signals on frequency

26.788 MHz - FSK driftnet beacon (FSK bursts)

26.822 MHz - FSK driftnet beacon (FSK bursts, exact same time as the 26.862 MHz signal)

26.838 MHz - FSK driftnet beacon

26.840 MHz - MI in Morse Code

26.862 MHz - FSK driftnet beacon (FSK bursts, exact same time as the 26.822 MHz signal)

26.880 MHz - Long keydown, followed by "NMN" in Morse (poor copy)

26.880 MHz - Long duration tone burst, followed by "UTS" in Morse Code

26.885 MHz - Long duration tone burst, followed by "RR" in Morse Code

26.890 MHz - Long duration tone burst, followed by "PCE" in Morse Code (possibly multiple beacons on this frequency)

26.890 MHz - Long duration tone burst, followed by "ECE" in Morse Code (this could be a copying error on my part)

26.895 MHz - Shorter duration keydown, followed by "IU IU" in Morse Code
short short    short short long
26.965 MHz - Long duration tone burst, followed by "PCE" in Morse Code (very similar to the 26880 signal, likely part of the same network?)

10/11 meters / 27.195 MHz AM Mexican Taxi Cab Dispatch 1645 UTC 4 April 2025

« on: April 04, 2025, 1647 UTC »

This is another good frequency to check, first to see if there's any voice traffic on the frequency...and second to hear the various data signals on here.  There is usually a constant or nearly constant data stream when the band is open to points south of the border. 

I can hear a YL taxi cab dispatcher on frequency, Spanish language, likely Mexico, possible CDMX (Mexico City) based on the taxi ID number formats.  Mexico City uses alphanumeric IDs, other places do not (or this is at least what I've read and have been told).  As of 1644z, the data signals are there, but extremely weak, much weaker than usual.  The taxi cab dispatcher lady is also considerably weaker than her counterpart down on 26.765 MHz AM / 26765 kHz AM. 

EDIT:  At 1645 UTC, a different data signal appeared...sounds like a FFSK burst, duration maybe 1 second, with a very distinct "BEEP" (lower-frequency than most "Roger Beeps").  Reminds me of the AX.25 packet I've heard on 27.235 MHz (CB Channel 24) and 27.245 MHz (CB Channel 25).

10/11 meters / 26.765 MHz AM Mexican Taxi Cab Dispatcher "Juanita" CDMX 1637 UTC 4 April 2025

« on: April 04, 2025, 1641 UTC »

Tuned in locally (on a handheld scanner with a base loaded CB antenna) on 26.765 MHz AM, the taxi lady Juanita is coming in quite nice just after 12:30pm Eastern Time. 

Checking the online receivers, the W3HFU SDRs are hearing her even better. 

Juanita either got her radio aligned or the temperature is being nicer to her transmitter, it is much closer to being on frequency today.  AM carrier on 26764.8 kHz at 1639z.  Not bad considering she's been down closer to 26764.4 or 26764.5 kHz several other times when I've tuned them in via the SDR receivers.  She's got the signature single-tone end of transmission BEEEEEEP.

Typical taxi cab dispatch traffic, alphanumeric taxi identifiers in Spanish, addresses, etc.  Can hear some of the drivers replying to hear at 1640 UTC.  OM drivers, noted one of them on 26765.1 kHz, the other on 26765.05 kHz, which is pretty decent considering.  Another driver (at 1641 UTC) down on 26764.7 kHz.  But, its all close enough for sure.

Peskies / 6960 kHz LSB French Fishing Boats 1630 UTC 4 April 2025 [Via G8JNJ SDR]

« on: April 04, 2025, 1634 UTC »

Very good signals at 1630z tune in time.  Two OMs chatting away in French, can hear background noise on one of the signals.  Heard several mentions of Marseille. 

The 6765 - 7000 kHz band is very busy in/around Europe, lots of fishing fleet comms outside the legal marine bands.  Bigger picture, there are a lot of freebanders on/around the "Echo Charlie" 6.6 MHz ballpark, 6633 kHz LSB, 6643 kHz LSB, 6650 kHz LSB and several others - including French language comms on 6678 kHz USB are active just as I type this and tune through the bands via the UK based SDR receiver.

« on: March 13, 2025, 1418 UTC »

Received via the Wessex SDR (G8JNJ SDR) located in the SW UK.  Very strong signals around 1410 UTC - 1415 UTC.  12.5 kHz channel spacing, dedicated fishery radio.  I've noticed these guys in 10 meters before, but usually they leave the (roughly) 28.000 MHz to 28.500 MHz or so portion alone.  Not this time. 

Also noted activity on 29.8250 MHz FM CSQ, 29.8750 MHz FM CSQ, 30.0375 MHz FM CSQ, 27.7500 MHz FM CSQ, 28.8250 MHz FM CSQ, and several others in 10 meters and above/below 10 meters.  Mostly

10/11 meters / CB radio repeater 26.815 MHz FM Germany English / German Voice ID

« on: March 07, 2025, 2037 UTC »

"hello and welcome to the CB repeater located near Cologne - 27225 megahertz (I think - I could be wrong about the input, not sure if they said 27.225 MHz, 27.275 MHz...or another frequency), output 26.815 megahertz you need the CTCSS tone on the input channel" (in German and then in English) at 2030 UTC, heard on 26.815 MHz (German CB Channel 66). 

I believe the CTCSS tone is 77.0 Hz.  The voice ID was first in German, and then in English.  Very nice and clear signal, basically full quieting.

Received locally (Richmond Virginia) using my PNI Escort HP 82 handheld CB transceiver CB walkie talkie with the radio set to DE mode (German 80 channel mode, which works great, because Channels 1-40 are identical to the U.S. FCC band plan channels 1-40 and the European CE/EU/CEPT band plan mid band channels, both AM and FM being legal on channels 1-40.  Channels 41-80 are the German channels 41-80, FM mode only, 26.565 MHz to 26.955 MHz in straight 10 kHz sequence (no skipped channels at 26.595 MHz / 26.645 MHz / 26.695 MHz / 26.745 MHz and no out of sequence numbering for 26.775 MHz / 26.805 MHz / 26.785 MHz / 26.795 MHz).

Via the W3HFU SDR.

Spanish language comms on 26.800 MHz USB, very strong.  Two OMs talking about prices at the supermercardo. 

Spanish language chatter on 26.800 MHz FM as well, not nearly as strong as the SSB guys. 

26.805 MHz FM activity as well, very messy frequency.

10/11 meters / 26.765 MHz AM Mexican Taxi Cab Dispatch CDMX 2005 UTC 7 March 2025

« on: March 07, 2025, 2012 UTC »

Nice signals this afternoon here on the U.S. East Coast.  Received using portable radios, nothing fancy.

Checked some East Coast SDRs, "Juanita" is coming in very nicely via the W3HFU SDRs, with some minor QSB / fading at points.   Her transmitter is slightly off-frequency, carrier on 26764.55 kHz at 2008 UTC.  Decent AM modulation, very distinctive end of transmission tone "Roger Beep", seems to be (roughly) 1900 Hz or so frequency (the end of transmission tone). 

Noting taxi cab radio transmissions (drivers replying to the dispatcher) at 2011 UTC.   

Mobiles' carrier frequencies:

26765.1 kHz
26764.7 kHz
26764.8 kHz
26765.2 kHz

at least so far, I'm sure there are additional mobiles on frequency that I just can't hear..

10/11 meters / UK FM CB Activity Heard In USA - 6 March 2025

« on: March 06, 2025, 2245 UTC »

Received locally via my PNI Escort HP 82 handheld CB walkie talkie (AM/FM dual mode) multi-norm CB radio. 

Lots of activity on 27.781 FM (as to be expected).  Carrier noted on 27.941 MHz FM (UK FM CB channel 35).  Another weak carrier, possibly a church broadcast…on 27.991 FM, with severe fading.  27.94125 MHz FM carrier may have been the paging system out of Finland and the like on 27.940 MHz.  I recorded a short clip of me scanning the UK FM band.

43.3200 MHz FM  [074 DCS] Slurry Pavers - Richmond, Virginia (local) d074 DPL 074 - KZI481

Lots and lots of CHP coming in, 39 MHz and 42 MHz very busy.  Some signals were full scale, sounding like locals.  Others had some very dramatic QSB / fading going on.  Nothing noted on the 44 MHz/45 MHz CHP frequencies.  Also, it is nice to confirm that Slurry Pavers are still using 43.32 MHz [074 DPL] as of February 2025.  Lots of activity on that frequency (heavy construction, road construction contractors).  I included callsigns / license information where available.
