Could be the Native American chanters heard on 6990 kHz LSB previously, or Asiatic fishing fleets.  The areas above and below 40 meters seem to be everyone's favorite frequencies

The Cruiseheimers are probably what I was hearing.  They have 4 MHz and 6 MHz marine band frequencies that are used on a regular basis as well.  I've also heard them on 4003 kHz USB when the super strong military data signal isn't occupying the frequency.

Two OMs talking with minor QRM, talking about charts and sat images of "deep water" and "at noon you can really see the deep dark water" "we tried that back in '13" - very good signals for both stations on the COMMSIGMA KiwiSDR.  Minor QRM from other marine traffic, presumably.  Propagation conditions to the Caribbean seem to be very favorable at the moment.

7958 kHz LSB 7.958 MHz LSB,

Heard several English words, including "roger" "safari" and then a mention of Sao Paulo...(possibly Brazilians!) - "con el radio" - this might be Portuguese...then back to English

"hello, brotha" at 2230 UTC.  "you can be in contact" "maybe we catch up in a bit and all that?" "come by"

Peskies / 7737.7 kHz USB Correcto Correcto 2226 UTC 8 Feb 2019

« on: February 08, 2019, 2227 UTC »

7737.7 kHz USB, OM talking about "los gringos" and other banter, political talking...then a YL replied and the OM started talking about la familia.    YL asking how the children are doing...this guy likes saying "correcto"...YL corespondent is considerably weaker, but readable.

Peskies / 7803 kHz LSB Julia y Roberto?? 2223 UTC 8 Feb 2019

« on: February 08, 2019, 2225 UTC »

7803 kHz 7.803 MHz LSB voice, SS Spanish speaker.  OM talking about Julia, Roberto, and Fernando.  Second station is possibly Fernando.  Very good signals at 2223 UTC tune-in time.  Lots of stations in the 7-8 MHz region this evening, probably good propagation south of the border down through the Caribbean and South America right now.

"how you doin' today, Carla?"

7822 kHz LSB, 7.822 MHz LSB UNID out of band net

Carla - "oh, you're so funny..." (maybe Carla is Carma? Carmela? - hard to be sure...)

2216 UTC - OM and YL continue their conversation, Caribbean accents noted.  Another island peskie frequency, mon

Peskies / 7789 kHz USB and 7801 kHz LSB Spanish Nets

« on: February 08, 2019, 2212 UTC »

More UNID Spanish language freeband or outbanders, who knows at this point - they're all over the 7 MHz band just like the 6 MHz band.

7789 kHz USB 7.789 MHz USB - two OMs talking, sounds like the usual freebander net

7801 kHz LSB 7.801 MHz LSB - OM talking to a YL, possibly a husband talking to a wife or girlfriend...OM going on long ranting monologues...YL answers with short answer...good signals (better than 7789 USB).  At 2210 UTC, the YL said "I'm good, everything is good, how are you, over?" to a possible third station?  Maybe not...now (2210 UTC) she's talking about talking to you (presumably the OM) tomorrow.  Pleasantries exchanged, OM talking about how things are going at work at 2211 UTC...

At around this time a third and fourth QSO appeared on 7795 kHz LSB and 7822 kHz LSB

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

« on: February 08, 2019, 2204 UTC »

7537.7 kHz 7.537.7 MHz USB mode.  (tuned at 7537.65 kHz and it sounds a bit better) Spanish language net, at least two stations chatting away.  Presumed freebanders.  Poor signals compared to others.  At 2203 a stronger station joined in, talking about his mother's house....the station he's talking to is very weak to unreadable.

Peskies / 7499 kHz LSB Spanish Language Freebanders or Pescadores 2156 UTC 8 Feb 2019

« on: February 08, 2019, 2200 UTC »

7499 kHz 7.499 MHz.  UNID SSB radio net in Spanish language, presumed freebanders or outbanders.  Like the other stations heard in the 41 meter band, this QSO is squeezed between strong shortwave broadcast signals.  WBCQ is on 7490 kHz not too far away.  Interesting accent of Spanish, maybe South American.  Heard several curse words, long pauses between transmissions, which is atypical of these types of nets.  Maybe I'm not hearing part of the QSO. 

2158 UTC - a third (maybe?) station joined the "net", and he is transmitting a weak, but noticeable carrier with LSB, the other stations are just using SSB (no carrier).  He's also making heavy use of the pro-word "cambio" (sounds like "gambio" to English speakers, means "over" or "back to you").  General chit-chat continues going into the 2200 UTC hour...

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

Peskies / 7436 kHz USB Island Peskies, Mon? 2153 UTC 8 Feb 2019

« on: February 08, 2019, 2155 UTC »

7346 kHz USB 7.346 MHz USB

Very thick accented English mixed in with another unknown language, possibly a YL operator talking at 2154 UTC.  Just outside of the LSB of the strong AM shortwave broadcast signal on 7445 kHz. 

After listening for a bit, this might be African in origin, I'm not entirely sure.  Can only hear one side of the QSO, it does not seem like a telephone conversation.  YL (I think) still talking at 2155 UTC.

6666.6 kHz USB 6666.6 USB 45 meters 45 metros EC Echo Charlie....etc etc.

Spanish language voices going nearly nonstop.  Several other frequencies in the 6525-6765 kHz aeronautical band and the 6765-7000 kHz fixed/mobile band active with similar freebander traffic.  Sounds like a ham radio pileup....SIO 222 to SIO 333, moderate QRM and noise.  Received via COMMSIGMA KiwiSDR on the CT/MA border remote receiver.

Peskies / 6676.6 kHz USB 6676.7 kHz USB Freebander Net 2145 UTC 8 Feb 2019

« on: February 08, 2019, 2149 UTC »

Sounds slightly better on 6676.6 USB, although I classify these stations as freebanders, I heard one OM hand the mic over to "la barca" (the boat) so he might be referring to a handle or actually a station on a boat?  Who knows.  OMs complaining about their bosses, talking about girlfriends and general chatter.  6676.6 kHz is a popular "45 metros" or 45 meter frequency, along with 6666.6 kHz, 6670 kHz, and several others. 

Three or four stations talking in a "roundtable" format.  Sound very much like radio amateurs.  Spanish language, received via COMMSIGMA KiwiSDR on the CT/MA border.

6300 kHz 6.3 MHz 6.300 MHz USB - they're there again, the unknown language chatter guys.  Seems to be their home frequency.  Several other 6 MHz marine band frequencies are active with SSB chatter in the usual Spanish, Portuguese and English languages. 

UNID net, presumed marine or maritime mobile net 6300 kHz USB mode.  Received via COMMSIGMA KiwiSDR.  SIO 444 good signals
