Starting at 0400 UTC April 9th 2017

6 MHz marine band 6200 kHz to 6525 kHz
6 MHz aeronautical band 6525 kHz to 6765 kHz
6 MHz super fun do whatever you want pirate military government pescadore band aka "fixed and mobile" 6765 kHz to 7000 kHz

Only a couple of these in the legal HF marine bands.  WLO marine broadcast at 0700 UTC 6519 kHz USB shows that the Spanish traffic on 6521 USB wasn't on a one of the channelized marine frequencies (channels), 6200 kHz, 6203 kHz....6519 kHz, 6522 kHz, 6525 kHz [3 kHz steps].  6521 and 6524 kHz are 3 kHz away from each other but don't follow the ITU HF SSB marine channel plan.  I tried listening to 6519 kHz and the Spanish language traffic on 6521 was making it impossible.

Lots of stations using the aircraft frequencies
