Fishery Radio Communications Centre

Dear Sparks,

while in the large part of Western Countries HF communications at sea has been declared “obsolete” many Countries outside of Europe and North America are continuing to use HF and morse code for sea-shore communications.

Japanese ocean fisheries are assisted at sea by several coast radio stations around Japan in all seas of the world, fishing vessels are well equipped with the last radio equipments and naturally with morse keys expecially to pass ashore the results of their daily catches.

On the following link it is described the job of OKINAWA RADIO and it seems the japanese coast stations are mantained by great japanese radio factories such as FURUNO:
