Peskies / Portuguese on 6925 LSB and 6919 LSB 2200 + UTC 11 Jan 2019
« on: January 11, 2019, 2219 UTC »
6919 kHz LSB and 6925 kHz LSB both active with Portuguese language traffic, some fading.  Likely fishing fleets or pescadores.  The Usual Suspects at this point.  Most of the other traffic on the band tonight in Spanish except for these two frequencies.

6.919 MHz LSB 6.925 MHz LSB

407
45 metros! puta madre!  Lots of salty language, stations talking over each other and general QRM on 6666.6 kHz USB and 6670 kHz USB, both active at once (along with several other frequencies in the 6.6 MHz range.....yes, 6-7 MHz in general is littered with Latin American voices right now.

Mention of "el barco" at 2215 UTC on 6666.6 USB.  Possibly actually a pescadore in the literal sense.  6670 USB is going non-stop as well.  These guys are all over the 6525-6685 kHz (6525-6765 kHz) aeronautical band.

408
Two OMs chatting on frequency, they sound better on 6676.6 kHz USB but 6676.7 kHz would also make sense.  Talking about music and giving signal reports.  General ham radio like chit-chat.  Freebanders using the 45 meter band.  45 metros, cambio! 

Heard using the COMMSIGMA KiwiSDR on the CT/MA border.

Peskies / 7000 kHz LSB Spanish Language Net 2209 UTC 11 Jan 2019
« on: January 11, 2019, 2211 UTC »
Hearing some Spanish language chatter on 7000 kHz 7.000 MHz LSB mode, likely out of South America.  Hearing an OM whistling on frequency at 2210 UTC.  OM talking about whats going on at his house and what his kids did at school, likely land-based "freebanders" or outbanders on everyone's favorite frequency, 7000 kHz.

410
"23430 tomorrow", discussion of his team...ayyy, chicato (can hear music and diesel engine noise in the background, OM talking very quickly at 2303 UTC - probably discussing catches or perhaps crew requirements?  laid-back QSO but lots of numbers and values being thrown around, QSO still going strong at 2304 UTC.

4411 kHz USB 4.411 MHz USB - SS OM Spanish speaking chatter pescadores

411
4245 kHz 4.245 MHz presumed fishing fleet communications at 2255 UTC, heard "ciao" and then the frequency went clear. 

Received via remote receiver COMMSIGMA KiwiSDR on the CT/MA border.

North American Shortwave Pirate / UNID 6990 LSB 2250 UTC 7 Jan 2019
« on: January 07, 2019, 2251 UTC »
Heard maybe 15-20 seconds of a song and then off.  Decent signal.  The "Windtalkers" or Native American UNID stations were using this frequency/mode earlier, for more information see these threads in the peskies forum here at HFU:

Peskies / Island Peskies 6970 kHz USB 2247 UTC 7 Jan 2019
« on: January 07, 2019, 2248 UTC »
Possibly caught the tail end of a QSO, but heard an OM with a Jamaican or Caribbean accent say "roger" very clearly.  Receiver is the COMMSIGMA KiwiSDR.  Nothing after the "roger" transmission...

414
I have logged 6771.5 kHz USB several times, but 6771 kHz seems like a new one.  Two stations having a QSO, possibly a husband and wife talking, which would support the radiotelephone link (RRTS, Rural Radiotelephone Service, used in South America) theory.  Pretty tame conversation, no salty sailor talk which would indicate that I'm not hearing the usual pescadores or fishing fleet communications.

Heard on the COMMSIGMA KiwiSDR on the CT/MA border.  Lots and lots of activity on the 6-10 MHz region this evening.  I imagine that the lower frequencies will light up too.

Peskies / 6800 kHz LSB Busy Freebander Net 2240+ UTC 7 Jan 2019
« on: January 07, 2019, 2242 UTC »
6800 kHz 6.800 MHz - likely moved down from 6900 LSB because of the massive 50 kHz wide OTHR or wideband data (???) signal.  The transmissions really remind me of "The Usual Suspects" from 6900 kHz but they could very well be a different group. 

416
Dozens of active frequencies in the 6-7 MHz region this evening.  6695 kHz, 6695.5 kHz and 6696 kHz (all in USB mode) have been logged previously, 6710.5 USB is also busy.  3-4 different OMs talking and at least one YL.  Use of radio operator pro-words such as "gambio!" is widespread.  The usual pleasantries and signal reports given on both frequencies.  Unsure of origin but going by the accent, these stations are coming out of South America.  Yet another "Carlito" and a OM that starts almost every transmission with a whistle into the  mic.  At 2240 UTC on 6710.5 kHz, it appears to just be the OM and YL. 

Receiver is the COMMSIGMA SDR on the CT/MA border. 

417
Very good signals at 2230 UTC - 2231 UTC, heard mentions of Beyonce, OM and YL chatting.  OM has a very good signal, SIO 444 easily and was pushing S8-S9 at tune in.  Poor frequency choice since they're in the middle of the busy 6 MHz aeronautical on-route band 6525 kHz to 6685 kHz but what do they care?  cf. 6666.6 kHz and other frequencies, etc.  YL's signal is much weaker, almost unreadable.  OM mentioned Venezuela and an unidentifiable word/place at 2234 UTC.  2234 UTC....- the usual "buenas tardes!" and compliments on signal strength, etc. then the frequency went quiet.  Sounds like the QSO ended. 

UNID Spanish speakers radio amateurs 6.6 MHz EC Echo Charlie 6615 kHz 6.615 MHz USB SS OM and YL pirates freebanders outbanders, Latin American 45 meter band 45 metros.  Receiver is the COMMSIGMA KiwiSDR located on the CT/MA border.

Peskies / 6990 USB Spanish Speaking Freebanders 2225 UTC 7 Jan 2019
« on: January 07, 2019, 2226 UTC »
Along with the Native American activity on 6990 LSB, there's a Spanish language net active on 6990 USB.  Pretty busy frequency this evening.  The usual freebander suspects yakking away again.

419
OM speaking American Indian language at 2223 UTC tune in time.  Some QRM from 6990 USB.  So far only hearing one station.  Some more QRM at 2224

420
9779 kHz 9.779 MHz USB - heard "Carlito" clearly at 2219 UTC.  Two or three stations talking casually.  Juanito and Carlito, also hiding in the 31 meter band.  Probably fishing boats or freebanders.  I'm leaning more towards fishing boats.  Mention of "El Gordito" at 2220 UTC (Gordito means "the little fat one" but could easily be a term of endearment for a fat fishing boat captain, etc).  Talking about something in kilograms.  Probably fishing catches?  Some fading.  Heard on the COMMSIGMA KiwiSDR on the CT/MA border.  Still going strong at 2221 UTC.
