Maybe they got lost? That's valid use in EU, but not in US.
From Wikipedia:
"The upper portion of the band, which is usually used for phone (voice), is sometimes referred to as 75 meters. In Europe, 75m is a shortwave broadcast band, with a number of national radio services operating between 3.9 and 4.0 MHz."
"The European 75 m broadcast band overlaps the North American 80 m ham band allocation. When it is night on both ends of the transmission path some broadcasters in Asia and Europe can be heard in North America between 3.9 and 4.0 MHz"
- MandieD 3y agoA big part of amateur radio operations is knowing what the allowable frequencies are for where you are - when I first put the “DL” (for Germany) ahead of my US callsign, it was a) to let everyone else know I was operating in Germany, and b) to acknowledge that I knew what the rules were for operating in Germany. “Don’t play music over amateur radio” is another big one that is literally a question on the Technician (entry-level) license exam. Also, broadcasting (transmissions intended to be listened to by non-hams) under an amateur license is illegal in ordinary conditions. That’s what broadcasting licenses are for. And trying to bump people off a frequency is considered the height of jerk behavior. So, good for the FCC, an excellent use of our license fees.
