[Airwaves]

does anyone ever hear the pirates chatting on the 86/85m 3430-3500 band?,i used to hear them years ago.
just wondering do the still operate there?.




45m Band - 6,600 MHz - 6,700 MHz LSB (6,635 MHz LSB Calling Freq.)

85m Band - 3,450 MHz - 3,495 MHz LSB (3,470 MHz LSB Calling Freq.)

Yep I still hear them.

Plenty of those can be heard.

Was the call freq not 6.6700 ?

To be honest maybe in Europe the 45 is still used but certainly not a lot of U.K. activity on there anymore. It’s one freq the authorities do like to clamp down on any use due to its original intended users .

does shannon airport use frequencey down near 45m ?

Mostly around 5mhz but does have one on 6.6 mhz according to a quick google search. Would personally avoid tx on there nowadays . Most folk have gone licenced so not really worth the risk especially with activity being so low anyway.
