Topband: Fishing beacons redux

["Gary Smith" <Gary@ka1j.com>]

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. 

MHZ    ID
1.801  OJ7E
1.806  HV8E
1.811  GX3E
1.823  ZM4
1.826  GX8E
1.828  WK4
1.832  MB1E
1.836  NM7E

I didn't realize 160 was a shared band with fishing bouys. 

Rotten QRM...
