Default Pirate - 6925

All of the pirate reports seem to have them at or around 6925. What makes
that frequency area popular for them?


Back when ham radios had analog tuning, they would tune in 500kHz bands.
The one of interest to pirates is the 40m ham band 7000 on up. However
7100 on up is loaded with high power shortwave stations, no place for a
pirate.


Seems like a great place to catch knob spinners while not sticking out
like a sore thumb in a Ute band. The Region 1 41 M HFBC band went
bye-bye earlier this year, BTW.
