Frank, if i remember, that was at 15mg. there were a few post on a few
of pirate web sites on this a few years back. also, when the gov did the
weather and wave thing a few years ago, i remember a few people freaked.
i believe that was 10mg. and that didn't last long either. so, as the
saying goes, when it sounds a little different, just blame a pirate.

GOOD DX!

Or you could blame radio. On a couple of occasions, I've heard what sounds
like chatter under WWV. Maybe it was an image or crossmod or something like
that. Maybe it was a transmitter spur. It's always been unintelligible and
I couldn't be sure if it was English or not.

I suppose the WWV frequencies might be usable in parts of the world where
time station signals are weak, but there must be hundreds of better
frequencies.

Mexican fishing boats can use any frequency they perceive as being
underutilized. I've heard them on USAF, USCG, etc. freqs, so they must
be really important fisherpersons.
