258.650 Satcom Pirates from USA

English-speaking satcom pirates were active on 258.650 MHz earlier. One operator had a Southern U.S. accent and had an end-of-transmission tone after keying up, and they also discussed using a Trivec antenna. Definitely freebanders and not legit U.S. mil stations. I’d also watch for them on 256.850, as they mentioned that frequency as well.

    I heard them on 256.850 yesterday. The southerner was back on 258.650 today in between secure comms from (presumably) AFSOC.
