VK's 20 Metre band invaded by Pirates

A popular international ham band has been invaded by a pack of unlicensed stations.

The Wireless Institute of Australia reports that that a group of Australian pirate radio operators appear to have set up a voice net on low end of 20 meters.

According to the WIA News, the operators all appear to be short haul truck drivers who are using 14.000 MHz USB as a chat channel.

The stations appear to be located in the coastal coast areas the Australian states of Queensland or northern New South Whales and operate intermittantly throughout the day.

20 meter operators are being asked to monitor 14.000 Mhz.

If you hear the pirates please report any information that might assist in identifying them to Wireless Institute of Australia Director Glenn Dunstan, VK4DU.
