Topband: Fishing beacons redux

[Gary Smith]

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.

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

Rotten QRM...
