Topband: Topband Digest, Vol 151, Issue 20

Tue Jul 28 12:33:51 EDT 2015

Hi,

The Topband Fish Buoys

(see for example)
http://www.ryokuseisha.com/eng/
http://www.taiyomusen.co.jp/eng/products/radio_buoy/
http://www.taiyomusen.co.jp/pdf/TB-568S-E.pdf       and others

we hear in Europe too (with good antenna).

Sometimes, during good openings, is the topband full of signals.

73 and Good DX
