5540 kHz LSB Spanish Language QSO Probable Fishing Boats 2337 UTC 29 Oct 2018
« on: October 29, 2018, 2341 UTC »
Hearing some salty talk (in Spanish) on 5540 kHz LSB / 5.540 MHz LSB - heavy use of the "cambio" proword ("over" in Spanish language radio procedure).  Two OMs having a casual QSO S3-S4 signals, both stations are about equal signal strength.  More curse words in Spanish at 2340 UTC.  Sounds like fishing boat communications.  "It's all good", general informal chatter "call or don't call..." heard at 2240 UTC as well.  "Son of a bitch, there's no money!" "okay back to you, over" [laughing]

Probable fishing fleets or other marine traffic HF-SSB 5 MHz bands. 

2342 UTC - talking about different dates


Listening on Chris' KiwiSDR in Westminster, MD.
