I am not sure what it would accomplish, but we could put the loggings on
the DX cluster.

Art,
Hearing several strong ones 1820-1926 KHZ most to my East toward the Grand
Banks.
Wonder if anyone has ever sent any, a SWL card requesting they use an out
of Ham band frequency? hi
No QRZ listings ?

I was tuning around tonight about an hour before local sunset, and heard a
fishnet beacon on 1960KHz. I think it was PFB1 or something like that. I
only heard it twice before it faded.
I happened to be using a HB coaxial loop favoring E. There was too much QRN
on the BOG's to hear it.

Do not know yet, will see what I can find. I have heard of drift nets.
It can be tough on the whales.
They cut one Hump Back loose in the Gulf of Maine recently.

Hi,
This has come up before right here. It was pointed out that *we* are the
primary users of that spectrum. If we are not using it we can't expect
those untrained people to not use it. If we go ahead and use our
spectrum they will QSY just as a practical matter.

I was a bit surprised by the apparent grey line propagation. Bruce's
observation of the beacon being located near the Grand Banks, would be
consistent with the timing.
The loop had been oriented toward W1AW a few days prior, so the heading was
reasonably correct.
The QRN in lower Michigan has been exceptionally bad this summer. It seems
like there have been thunderstorms every day either here in Michigan or in
nearby northern Indiana.
