Marine Nets/Frequencies needed
« on: January 15, 2023, 2016 UTC »
Hope I posted this in the right place  :-\ , I would like to make a memory file for my SDRplay RSPDX receiver of Marine HF Nets and any other frequencies that are active, I have been looking on the internet but a lot of these web sites are not being kept up to date and I really don't now if the frequencies on these web sites are active anymore. Would anyone have a list of frequencies that are active for Marine nets that boaters are using that I can make a memory file with, I would like to compile a list of frequencies that I know are active for marine and boating call ins. any help would be appreciated on how to go about this.
Thanks,
Steve

Check around 8000-8300 KHz regularly. There are marine nets there frequently. 8137 KHz has regular weather reports for yachts, and there's chatter on and around that freq all the time.
