Nick VK2DX has just posted to the 600m group a reminder about the fishnet beacons down low between 1,700 KHz and 2,900 KHz. These are devices that fishermen leave floating near their nets to enable them to locate and retrieve their nets.
The call has gone out for reports about these devices off the coast of Australia and New Zealand.
Nick picked up two of these devices at the Wyong Hamfest on the weekend and bumped into another MF/LF experimenter Dimitrios, VK1SV.
Information about these devices can be found on Nick's page - Link
He is looking for reports for a night or two listening for these beacons. The fishnet page has the frequencies and identifiers. An SDR receiver makes this task super easy.
Ultimately, Nick is looking for multiple reports of the same beacon plus as
many different ones that you can log.
Send report directly to Nick and his contact details can be found at the bottom of his fishnet web page.
He will post a summary and New Zealand reports are especially welcome.
