Topband: Steady Carrier on 80 CW -BTW

[Charlie Cunningham]

Thanks, Gary

Well, there are many vessels from Japan, Korea, US and Canada (and others)
that operate out there! 

Yes, unfortunate that we have intruders in our bands!

Yes, that's what I was thinking too. The link Frank posted mentions 
continuous operation which is something I hadn't experienced on 160. 
What is amazing to me is how loud their signals are compared to other 
signals I hear on the band. I understand its their saltwater location 
but that's pretty much what I have too and if I was at 100 watts I 
doubt I'd be as loud as those 3W-8W transmitters. Since they're on 
frequencies that are outside the 1900-1999Khz they are most likely 
from some foreign ported ship operating close to our shore. 
Aggravating they make any of those bouys designed to operate in ham 
bands at all.

73,
