ITU Region 3 purportedly (according to the world spectrum chart in the
office) allows radiolocation, radionavigation, and fixed and mobile
commercial services on a secondary basis to amateur communication.
Regions 1 and 2 have amateur service listed as exclusive from at least
1810 - 1850 kc, with similar secondary services as Rgn 3 listed above 1850.
Meanwhile, other spectrum charts (one from Icom included here) show the
entire band as amateur exclusive.
So it appears as though there is freq. sharing in at least some part of
Topband somewhere on Earth that might even be legal.
Would anyone else be surprised if the callsigns listed in this morning's
"Fish Report" from Gary/KA1J were all contained within Region 3?

Not to mention "sharing" out callsign pool????? Last time I looked NM7E was/is
a ham callsign. That should DEFINITELY be illegal, especially when those things are in a
ham band. I am pretty sure we DO NOT share that band with fishing buoys. Not absolutely
positive, but pretty sure. If they are causing harmful interference, they must be turned
off if they aren't primary, right?

They're back with a vengeance! I've never heard so many of them as I
have recently. I live in CT & right on the water but this is
unbelievable. It's 13:04Z / 9AM and they were over S9 an hour ago.
Now the noise level is catching up with them but when I was listening
for 3D2C this AM, these damned beacons were the loud.
