Signal heard only very weakly and briefly, yesterday and today, at around 17:00 UT, give or take a bit. I am looking into the possibility of doing
some rough direction finding on this signal, when it comes back on strongly enough. This can be quite difficult to do with signals that fade in and
out. *** To follow up on my last post, the fixed service radio stations allowed in certain Eastern Hemisphere countries on 14.250 to 14.350 MHz are
intended to send send signals between two fixed stations, not to vessels. They are limited to about 250 watts of power, which would be impractically
low for a maritime station. These typically use 3000 to 5000 watts. Could the notation cited by ANNED have been about an Amateur Radio Maritime net?
Nets are arrangements for hams to meet over the radio on a particular frequency, at specific times. Ross
