Anyone else hearing the fish net drift net beacons – nothing here in Scotland 
last couple of nights.

Has something changed?

It's amazing how much information you can find once you know what you are 
looking for.  Until then, not so much.  I tried searching for "beacons", etc, 
with no luck. Hence the question.

There are one or two ham websites that are also a wealth of information.
Some have a list of them and encourage reports of new ones, as well as
photos and technical details.

Lots of information is in the searchable archives of this reflector at
lists.contesting.com/archives//html/Topband/. A search for "drift net",
"fishnet", and "fish net" will return everything that you wanted to know
about these beacons, but were afraid to ask. ;-)

There are one or two ham websites that are also a wealth of information.
Some have a list of them and encourage reports of new ones, as well as
photos and technical details.

Thanks for all of the replies.  Seems I'd heard these mentioned someplace but 
didn't put two and two together.

Fish net beacons out here in the Pacific,
They are on every day,  sometimes every even KC across the whole
band.  many are over S9 depending on location
Have heard them as far as from EU and USSR lakes and oceans.

nothing new, been there forever.

\Merv K9FD/KH6

From time to time I'm hearing some non-ham stations transmitting on 
1823 and 1829 KHz.  These signals typically pop up as steady carriers 
then identify in Morse and disappear.  I've heard IDs of 4OMD, 4NAF 
and 4NAG.


Ideas?
