Yes, that's what I was thinking too. The link Frank posted mentions
continuous operation which is something I hadn't experienced on 160.
What is amazing to me is how loud their signals are compared to other
signals I hear on the band. I understand its their saltwater location
but that's pretty much what I have too and if I was at 100 watts I
doubt I'd be as loud as those 3W-8W transmitters. Since they're on
frequencies that are outside the 1900-1999Khz they are most likely
from some foreign ported ship operating close to our shore.
Aggravating they make any of those bouys designed to operate in ham
bands at all.
