[FedCom] Pirates on Fed 160's Freqs, La.

Fri, 24 Oct 2003 23:12:47 -0400

The Only VHF Pirates in the Boston area have been:

Maritime:
Use of the Never Approved Marine Channels, and
or the use of the Private Channels that Icom had.

One was 5 Khz off, from our Intercity Mutual Channel at 158.9700 Mhz.

Also, we had some guys Boot-Leg the Naval Intel CID Repeater for a couple of
months, at night only.
