3824 khz Maritime activity
« on: January 09, 2016, 1940 UTC »
This was posted to rec.radio.shortwave. I'll never be able to hear this net, but perhaps someone out in the northwest might:

Starting at 1700 utc (+/-) daily a casual simplex USB
net takes place, no callsigns are ever used, just personal
recognition. No references to vessel names, or exact geographical
places, no lat/long etc.
 This group of vessels comes up with causal chatter, laced
with profanity at times, close knit group. References are
often made about success/failure of fishing, gear, etc.
 I'm curious, is this group of vessels participating in
illegal commercial fishing ? A clandestine communications
channel ?
 Once, they went ashore and shot a moose and divided the
meat among several vessels. (the hunting season is closed
this time of year).
 This 3824 khz useage is outside of the maritime ssb channels
from what I'ved googled and referenced in frequency lists.

Monitoring 3824 khz and curious .....

Jeezus! You shoot one bull moose just for the halibut and everyone goes crazy. Man does not live by king crab and salmon alone!
