4890 Fishermen
 

Listening here at 1030 to 4890 and hearing some fishermen talking about
lines, heading to the dock, etc. Using USB.

Interfering nicely with NBC Papua New Guinea and whatever flavour of
Peruvian underneath!

No no, you've got it wrong, those pesky AM broadcasters are interfering
with the fishermen. The fishermen are great to listen to, unless you
actually catch them working, like you seem to have done. When they are
argueing about something, and they argue a lot, they are just about the
best thing to listen to on HF, period.

It's the Ted Kennedy type accents lots of them have that does it for me.

Gloucestermen, "Perfect Storm" s. That band has a lot of such traffic. It
doesn't usually come in too well here. Some of it is radiotelephone traffic,
some is fishermen, and there is a bit of traffic from commerial aircraft in
there too. I hear chinese, japanese and spanish a lot.

I hear them that early around 6200, heard them around 0100z around
5300 or so. They seem to be all over.

Yes, one way to know you've found fishing boats is to listen for the
"c'back" they use at the end of every transmission.
