One of the prime frequencies here is 6622. It is used extensively and is subject to interference on a daily basis by non-aviation users. Sometimes the interference is minor, but at other times it can be significant enough to require pilots to find another frequency, or simply attempt to overtransmit them.

Suspicion centres on fishing boats belonging to a neighbouring country whose people do not speak English as a first language.
