The Utility DXers Forum (UDXF) provides a centralized platform for exchanging news and information concerning utility radio stations and signals operating within the 0 to 30 MHz spectrum. It specifically excludes broadcasting, pirate, and amateur radio transmissions, concentrating instead on a diverse array of other signals. The resource details the types of stations covered, including maritime coastal and ship stations, aeronautical ground and aircraft communications (voice, HFDL, Selcalls, Volmet), military operations, various beacons (NDB, driftnet, propagation, pirate, high-frequency), fax transmissions, numbers stations, diplomatic communications, clandestines, and other unusual signals. Further content addresses radar systems such as Over-the-Horizon, Ocean Wave, and CODAR, alongside ionosondes, chirpsounders, ALE-systems, Selcall-systems, and tone calls. Experimental stations and standard frequency and time stations are also within its scope. The forum also acknowledges utility radio-related amateur events like the International Lighthouse Weekend and Night of Nights, providing a broader context for listeners. The site offers sections for modes, hardware, software, a utility radio archive, digital BC & HF conditions, and a utility radio club archive, along with QSLs and pennants.

Licensed since February 1991, IK1QBT Tony Gallo shares insights into his extensive amateur radio journey, highlighting his involvement in **DXpeditioning** and contesting. His page lists several callsigns he has operated under, including 3A/IK1QBT, TK/IK1QBT, IA5/IK1QBT, and as an operator for 4U9ITU and 4U0ITU, showcasing a broad range of international activity. Tony's background as an ex-Radio Officer in the Merchant Navy and a Radio Operator for the Italian Maritime Coast Radio Station "ICB/GenoaRadio" provides a unique perspective on radio communications. He is an active member of ARI, INORC, and HSC, and serves as secretary for the Marconi Club ARI LOANO, underscoring his deep engagement within the amateur radio community. His participation in multi-multi operator contest teams like IH9P in the CQWW-CW 2006 and the HQ Italian ARI Contest Team in the IARU HF (2004-05-06) demonstrates a strong commitment to competitive operating, primarily on **CW** and HF bands.

Chronicles the operational history of Cullercoats Radio, established in 1906 under _Marconi_ license, detailing its initial use of a spark-gap transmitter feeding a **200-foot** wooden mast. Documents the station's transition in 1915 to Marconi Wireless and a 1929 upgrade to a valve-type transmitter. Explains its later role as a British Telecom (BT) Maritime Radio Station, callsign GCC, serving as a receiving site with transmitting aerials at Hartley. Highlights the demolition of the commercial mast in 2000 and the site's subsequent sale. Features the Tynemouth Radio Club (GX0NWM) operating special event stations like GB4MPC for International Marconi Day from Marconi Point. Includes a historical QSL card confirming a QSO on **7.016 MHz** in 1936.

Operating ham radio in international waters

Before the advent of satellite communication, maritime communication adhered to an international protocol requiring ships and coastal stations to observe silent periods twice an hour, reserved specifically for emergencies. These silent periods were marked by red sectors on the 500 kHz frequency and green sectors on the 2182 kHz frequency. The 4-second red bars facilitated the manual transmission of the SOLAS distress signal.

The Pacific Seafarer's Net is an amateur radio communications net organized to provide support, assistance and daily tracking for maritime operators.

This **PDF report** documents a _maritime mobile_ DXpedition operating from the _Southern Ocean_ near Antarctica, detailing antenna deployment strategies on a sailing vessel. It addresses power management systems for remote operations and propagation characteristics specific to polar regions on **20m and 40m** bands. Operational strategies include managing high-density pileups using split frequency operation and maintaining signal integrity during periods of high aurora activity. Equipment considerations cover specific transceiver models like the Icom IC-7300, antenna types optimized for marine vessel installation, and battery power systems for extended periods without shore power. The resource also examines the use of satellite communication for real-time log uploads and QSL confirmation from remote locations, and discusses mitigating signal degradation from ice accumulation on antennas.

This page provides information on how amateur radio, or 'Ham' radio, is used by the yachting and small boat community for communication and weather information. It explains the global operation of amateur radio, regulations within the U.S., and the role of the American Radio Relay League (ARRL) in licensing and training. The page also highlights maritime 'nets' where Hams exchange weather reports, using voice and digital modes. It encourages establishing webpages for nets and mentions the MAROB and SKYWARN Programs for marine observation and severe weather reporting. The content is useful for hams interested in maritime communications and weather reporting.
