Hi Dave,
By chance, I came across a very unsteady slow morse signal on about 137 kHz around 17.50 UT apparently sending random letters. The frequency was varying so much on Argo, that I wasn't sure whether this was genuine CW. Didn't see a call sign, but perhaps didn't watch long enough.
My first thought was that it might be an illegal use of the band to send coded messages. It might be better to send a repeating clear text message especially in the present climate.
