HF Mystery Signals / Re: Pips Network, multiple frequencies, 0905 to 1020 UTC, 29 January, 2020

« on: April 06, 2020, 1605 UTC »

Isn't this 'pips network' actually transmissions from STANAG transmitters? As I occasionally see those pips around 5700, but other times I see a STANAG there which looks the same on an SDR and is similar strength.

Its very strong, so I think close to the SDR location (UK south coast), so its not skywaving.

Co-existing with Harmony 10kHz down, both well-controlled bandwidth, so no interference.

Nicely controlled sidebands - but out to +/- 10kHz! Far too much!

Agreed, the pirates should respect the licensed stations.

Particularly the small ones like yours.

I have a contact at WOF. I've asked him to investigate this sprog.

So just because you have a boat and are out fishing then you can operate outside the amateur bands. I'd guess that the fisherman don't even need to have passed any technical exam or demonstrate any technical competency like hams have to do.
Strikes me as very strange, especially in this day and age of communications. For sure they will have internet at sea these days. They are CB pirates in my eyes

Fishermen don't use the amateur bands, they use the marine bands. And 48m has some marine allocations.
