If you haven't heard fishermen fighting, it's one of the funniest things
you will ever hear. Most of them seem to sound like Ted Kennedy, and
when they threaten each other, it's great..

Hi Steve, any chance you meant " 4.125 " Mhz? Seems odd to find traffic
exactly 1400Hz higher than ITU# 450, which is 4.125 and a very popular
marine calling and distress frequency.

The difference between USB assigned frequency and carrier frequency is
1400Hz. Some purists still like to post assigned frequency instead of
carrier frequency. This confuses most hobbyists and serves no purpose since
modern radios all display carrier frequency in their "window". Frequency
allocations still use assigned frequency (1400 Hz above carrier and
window-frequency) but that's the only place I see it anymore.

Best regards,

Hi Jack,

I'm too lazy to worry about assigned vs carrier frequency. I just post
whatever frequency is displayed on the LCD readout on my R8B. It said
4126.4 khz, and I believe the displayed frequency is the carrier
frequency in SSB. Maybe the fisherman were slightly off frequency?

I don't know, but they were entertaining to listen to.

Steve, I use my R8B as a guard receiver, and it's a champ in any band. It is
indeed display = carrier. So yes I would say the fishermen were just doing
what they often do, tuning up wherever they feel like it, and sometimes on
whatever band they feel like, lol.

I wish more people would record this stuff. If you can tolerate having
a PC running while listenting to shortwave, you can record using the
scanner recorder at www.davee.com. Adjust the squelch to zero to record
everying. I record in either mp3 or gsm.

I agree that it would nice to have more recordings, but I don't have a
website to post recordings on and they'd probably be too large to send
via email.

"Emmm N ER Ahhh.., don't touch my bait you FACKER!"

"Errr Ahhhhh, Go FACK yaself!"


This has been a simulation only!



You got it! One of the best I ever heard was between an older woman and
a young guy, both with the accents, and they went at it most of an
entire day. I kept thinking, well, that's it, and then there they would
go again. I shot Pepsi out my nose a couple of times listening to them
over the years..

The guy would threaten the woman to "Gut yah son up layke a trash feeish
and chop him up inta chum and catch a couple a shahks!!"
She would talk about "Er, ahh, yah balls wouldn't even make faih minnah
bait, thayre too goddamn smawwll!"

They threatned to burn each other's boats, families, "cahs", etc. It was
great. I wish I would have recorded it..

Sorry, DUH, did not even see that, Thanks, I always want to know where folks
are as I am in TX and don't get **** down here! Well a little **** but not
as much as you east coasters do!
