Fishing boats?
 

Around 0600 UTC last night on 2958 kHz USB I heard what appeared to be
Canadian fishermen chatting for a long time.

Anyone have some similar fishing freqs in their logs?

There are a lot of frequencies in use by commercial vessels and fishing
vessels scattered in the lower bands.

If I went through some much earlier logs I might find many references to
fishing vessels, but this gives an idea what's out there S.

On 6507 you can also hear Olympia Radio from Greece, a radiotelephone
relay service. Only if the props are good though.

I remember something similar when I was in high school in Germany (Fed
Republic then). I used to love listening to their test broadcasts as they
tuned stuff up. Thanks for the memory RedOctober90 :)

Thanks for the list, but what I had in mind are the non-official simplex
freqs which real fisherman use to chat and swap notes while at sea, and not
to communicate with shore stations or the coast guard. I used to hear many
such boats years ago, similar to the 2958 I mentioned.

Similarly, many foreign ship-board radio operators chat off-channel on non-
official freqs scattered in the marine and aero SSB bands.

I have to hunt further to find the frequencies I have. But I found them by
accident. The FCC surely has a detailed list of frequency allocations.
Examining such a map may reveal what frequencies they would likely use if
they do not use regular amateur equipment.

In each of the marine bands -- 2, 4, 6, 8, 12, 16, and 22 MHz -- there are both
simplex ship-to-ship and duplex ship-to-shore sub bands. There's a set for each
mode.
