Another odd find via the excellent G8JNJ SDR receiver.  Tuned in at 1352 UTC.  Two OMs chatting, reminds me very much of 6925 kHz LSB Portuguese language chatter.  Probably pescadores on another super secret squirrel frequency!

29889 kHz USB 29.889MHz USB out of band Portuguese chatter.  Stations actually seem to be right on 29888.8 kHz USB or 29.888.8 MHz USB.  29.888 MHz 29.8888 MHz USB 29.7 MHz - 30.0 MHz 30-88 MHz. 


At the same time, POCSAG paging signals were just starting to fade in on 29.800 MHz and 29.900 MHz.  Russian taxi dispatch radio chatter on 29.855 MHz FM, 29.915 MHz FM and 29.965 MHz FM around the same time.  No sign of the Asian fisheries guys on their usual hangouts 29.775 MHz FM, 29.825 MHz FM, 29.875 MHz FM, 29.975 MHz FM, etc. but they seem to come and go at seemingly odd times given their (presumed) location(s).
