Pirate & Hoax Stations

Post by vk2uw »

Today 03/04/03,
I was monitoring on the Seafarers Maritme Mobile Net on 14.313mhz,
there was a station putting out Hoax calls on the net.

Let's get rid of them as they can cost the Emergency Services a fortune trying to locate them, if the Emergency is taken as being genuine.

Imagine if a real emergency took place while the Emergency Service was tied up in a Hoax.

These services are free by the Amateur Radio Community and need backup in these types of activity.

The Hoax callers are far worse than the Fraudulent ones on the classifieds.
