Why marine SSB
Marine SSB (Single Side Band) is a popular means of communications for the independentcruising yachtsmen and a must if you are planning to do bluewater cruising to the Caribbean,Pacific or Mediterranean. The range of SSB is up to several thousand miles and callsbetween yachts are free. There are stations around which will let you make link calls(telephone calls) and even email is available over SSB radio.
WHY SSB MIGHT BE FOR YOU!Get the answer from Rod Heikell's very informal site
Having an SSB MF/HF transceiver on board your yacht offers communication independence,you are not tied into any contracts or connection charges.
Marine SSB frequencies
The frequencies used for marine communications are internationally agreed by theInternational Telecommunication Union (ITU). Below you will find a list of HF frequencies. Inthe main most frequencies are Duplex and intended for ship to shore use. Some bands dohave simplex channels which can be used for either ship to shore or intership working.

11 m 25,600 - 26,100 kHz may be used for local DRM broadcasting
The Asia-Pacific Telecommunity estimates that there are approximately 600,000,000 shortwave broadcast
radio receivers in use in 2002. WWCR claims that there are 1.5 billion shortwave receivers worldwide.[8]
Shortwave broadcasting frequency allocations
The World Radiocommunication Conference (WRC), organized under the auspices of the International
Telecommunication Union, allocates bands for various services in conferences every few years. The next WRC
is scheduled to take place in 2007.
At WRC-97 in 1997, the following bands were allocated for international broadcasting. (listed in the table):
AM shortwave broadcasting channels are allocated with a 5 kHz separation for traditional analog audio
broadcasting.
International broadcasters for practical reasons sometimes operate outside the normal WRC-allocated bands or
use off-channel frequencies to attract attention in crowded bands (60m, 49m, 40m, 41m, 31m, 25m).
The new digital audio broadcasting format for shortwave DRM operates 10 kHz or 20 kHz channels.
There are some ongoing discussions with respect to specific band allocation for DRM, as it mainly transmitted
in 10 kHz format.
The power used by shortwave transmitters ranges from less than one watt for some experimental and amateur
radio transmissions to 500 kilowatts and higher for intercontinental broadcasters and over-the-horizon radar.
Shortwave transmitting centers often use specialized antenna designs (like the ALLISS antenna technology) to
concentrate radio energy at the target area.
