Re: [IRCA] 990 Code Challenge

[Rick Dau <drummer1965usa@xxxxxxxxx>]

I've gone through the International Morse Code guide, and it has to be two characters that are being put together when transmitted.  Going by what Tom's dsecribing, the only combos I can come up with are "EL", "ID", "UI", and "FE".   Something else to think about -- if it was being broadcast at JUST the top and bottom of the hour, it may be part of a news network's sounder, so it may not even be a station at all.

Tom,

Two questions.

-Could it have been .. _ _ ..
and 
-Were there small gaps between the .. and - or was the whole thing run together?

I will try to listen tonight if I can hear them in Iowa.

Here is a code challenge on 990khz.  

While listening to KRMO 990 on 9/16 I noted five
occurances of "code" at top of hour and the half
hour.  I hesitate to use the word "Morse
Code" beause the code character is not a known
alpha/numeric or punctuation mark or other character that
I am aware of.  The code heard is .._.. (dit dit
dah dit dit) sent at very high speed.  You need to
slow it down to hear the individual dits and the
dah. 

Does anyone know the source or the
purpose?  At the same time the code was heard CKGM
was strong, CBW was there but nulled, KRMO was in/out and
WGSO was also heard.  The character heard is not the
same as the familiar Cuban RR.

I can send
anyone interested in hearing this a short audio clip.
