[IRCA] SOS in Morse code on the radio today

[AM-DXer@xxxxxxxxx (Patrick Griffith, N0NNK / WPE9HVW)]

I was surprised when the broadcast I was listening to today was
interrupted by several rounds of SOS in Morse code. Turned out to be the
beginning of an e-Surance spot. It starts out with about 10 seconds of
code and no other audio. At the end they also mentioned a web site with
SOS in the address. I can imagine the surprise of someone DXing late at
night on a noisy channel and hearing just the SOS punch through the
background noise!
