[FedCom] Pirates?? on 165.4875 Boston Area

[~Bill]

Greg you would be correct not the spammer, big difference between CBP and

However, that has never been observed and the only foreign Protection
captured
was Indian Prime Minister on 

469.6250 R 156.7
462.6250 input 156.7

Yup, do the math and see how many Repeaters they could actually trip, never
mind GMRS

Sure that would not be The State Dept loaning radios?  Years ago I did radio
