I'd wondered about that, Ray.

I knew of the 11m operators, and when I was a SWL in the UK, heard the pirates on 6 MHz. Ours often had Irish accents. It could make for some amusing listening at times - they had a good sense of humour, but even listening to pirates was technically illegal back then, IIRC.
As an aside, it was also illegal to listen to police radio comms, but in the early 80's, a large section of the upper frequencies of the FM broadcast band was occupied by their mobile radio channels. Almost everyone had the equipment to listen!

Anyway, I'll take note of any voice/SSB activity encountered at 22m and report it here.
