Was KRMO carrying syndicated programming at the time?
Some of the "robot" controllers use a Morse-like code to tell the
controller things like "Place commercial here" and time synching.
They're supposed to mute the codes but maybe the controller was down or
malfunctioning.

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.
