AM 3 Mhz ?

I share the opinion but possibly semi-official like chats between offshore
fishers.

| Their transmissions a way too short. 3 MHz
| band has not been used by anyone in years (on a regular basis). It was
| never stable even at night,and especially now, with such minimal
| sunspot number. The operating frequencies seem to be floating, this is
| not typical of any regular business I can think of. And they ALL
| transmit only in AM? Big mystery.

Some ideas:
isolated communities in small siberian towns, having only radio to
communicate?
trappers in the north, isolated in their shack?
Even though some official services in Russia get poor funds from government,
I can't believe they would be endowed today with AM TRX. It is an old
technology still in use only for broadcasting. It is unlikely that AM TRX
have been bought after the fall of USSR. And during USSR, it was not
possible to buy TRX so I presume that the today AM TRX have been provided in
the past by the soviet government and are still in use today, and that
theirs users would have not much money to replace them.
