| | | Wierd, I'd never heard of those before. I used to listen to shortwave all the time in Alaska, but I'd mostly hear pacific rim stations. I guess this is more of a European/Caribbean phenomenon. We get commercial fishermen using out-of-band and codes sometimes. If you want to tell your buddies where the hot spot is without alerting the competition, you either use a VHF scrambler, out-of-band "secret channel", code, or some combination. VHF radios are pretty easy to mod to use unallocated frequencies, and SSB/Shortwave/Ham rigs are easy to find and modify. Half the fishermen I know also have cellular scanners, since the coastal towers usually stay analog for better range and you can listen in on the gossip. In the early 90's we used to get "skip-landers" transmitting AM over CB channels with huge amps. We had a CB in the house since there were no phones where I lived, sometimes we could hear California talking to Hawaii.
