Beat the intruders with CW says IARU [RSGB]
The IARU is encouraging amateurs to get on the air and use CW on the 7MHz band. This is because Portuguese fishermen are abusing 7000.4kHz using USB every morning from 0700 - 0900UTC and later. These fishermen are located off the North of Portugal. Use this frequency for CW traffic, says the IARU.
