6262 kHz USB Italian Marine Comms [G8JNJ SDR] 1125 UTC 01 April 2026
« on: April 01, 2026, 1127 UTC »
1 kHz off-frequency from the regular ITU marine band frequency 6263 kHz, but these guys are almost certainly marine users.  One of them has a distinctive "whine" (likely from a diesel engine or generator) in the background.  SIO 333.   Heard mention of "Valencia" at 1130z

Received via UK based SDR, Wessex SDR (South West UK).  Frequency 6.262 MHz USB.  This is within the legal 6200 kHz to 6525 kHz maritime band marine band 6,200 kHz to 6,525 kHz but doesn't follow the 3 kHz band spacing for HF SSB marine voice - which would be

6200 kHz USB
6203 kHz USB
6206 kHz USB
6209 kHz USB
6212 kHz USB
6215 kHz USB - calling / distress primary for 6MHz marine band
6218 kHz USB
6221 kHz USB
and 3 kHz spacing up to
6257 kHz USB
6260 kHz USB
6263 kHz USB
6266 kHz USB
6269 kHz USB
6272 kHz USB
6275 kHz USB
up to (3 kHz spacing)
