Last week I caught a bunch of pirate activity from a station in Colombia who was testing on various satcom frequencies. Interestingly the station was actually doing most of transmissions in English and had a very good signal. Here are a few of the intercepts of this traffic. It will be interesting to see if more of them start to pop up.


263.675 MHz – A pirate station from Colombia is testing military satellite communications on UFO-7 in both Spanish and English. Another pirate from Brazil responds, telling him to get off the radio and go take care of the cocaine plantation 😂😂😂. He also makes a few more vulgar comments toward the Colombian station. What a clown show!


269.950 MHz – The same person is testing in English and reciting a METAR report: “Automatic weather observation Papa, time 2300 Zulu, wind 350 at 10, visibility 10 miles, scattered 7,500, broken 1,200, overcast 300, temperature 24, dewpoint 15, altimeter setting 3002.” I also logged the same operator on other downlinks, including 263.925, 265.250, 266.750, and others. Quite odd, to say the least.

Bounty Hunter 61 calling Archer 27 on #satcom for voice check. Interestingly enough there were a few other stations who heard him. The Spanish language players are Puma and Boa (sound like) – suspected to be Colombian military assets.
