Topband: Topband Digest, Vol 151, Issue 20

[Mike Waters]

As was pointed out, this has been discussed here many times before. There
used to be an informal fishnet beacon listening group; one ham has a list
of them and invites others to send him reports. I forget the URL.

I'm not suggesting that this thread shouldn't continue; but if you do a
search in the Topband archives, there's a LOT of useful info there that
hasn't been discussed in this thread. Maybe it's time to "resurrect" it.

The search page is at
lists.contesting.com/archives//html/Topband
You might try searching for terms such as "fish net", fishnet, "drift net",
buoy, buoys, and beacons.

W8JI has a Web page about them; there are others who also have useful and
varied info.

73, Mike
