00:07 UTC - British sounding female with what sounded like a status report; weak readable.

I have this frequency registered as a shared coast & ship marine stations, ch 21 and as such is legit (Utility) and not a Peskies.

Nice catch. Might be Australian.

Alright, looks like we now have a regular scheduled "check-in" time. I will have to tune in at that time.

Thanks for the update.

0000 UTC 01 May 2023 - Fair reception

0000 YL on right at 0000, a little too noisy to make out conversation
0001 Think she said Venezuela, "Can you repeat, I missed that"
0002 Giving coordinates, Long/Lat?
0003 OM responding to YL with coordinates
0004 Hispanic OM calling into YL
0006 YL commenting she heard a lot of German on radio last night
0009 OFF?
