Yep, they seemed to just be shooting the bull but my Japanese is far
from perfect. My first suspicion is the fishing boat bootleggers as
well. They have a problem with showing up on 75m and jamming QSOs.
I've even gotten attention on occasion and told them to be quiet and
that they can't transmit on the frequency (in Japanese) and they just
QSY like 50 kHz one way or the other. They're bootleggers, though.

Most likely a fishing boat ... just checked and caught a bit of the
conversation. My Japanese is limited to what's on the menu at the
local restaurants so I didn't recognize anything they said - but I can
say they aren't talking about what they had for dinner 8-}
