Station on 18KHz could be Russian RDL (18.1KHz) which at times transm= it CW messages like this one: "RDL RDL 85690 92256 85690 92256 85690 92256= K".

Hi Markus
 
Great development work always the unexpected in the best planning.
 
In UK 405 line TV was notorious for the 10kc/s whistle from the LOPTI= (405x25 [interlaced] frame TB =3D 10125Hz) and even the modern 625 lineTV=  is / was noticable at around 15kc/s (kHz) by the younger generation= with good ears... ;-)   
 
So, yes I can understand the issue now you bring it up.
 
BTW I have been looking with Sound card RX and LW but seem to be gett= ing odd effects new to me BC AM break thro - also not seeing any Alph= a stations? The big Mil stations are visible with a station on 18kc/s tran= smitting 12wpm CW at times then TTY and other phase shift transmissions...= .. the CW always ends with a K as though inviting a reply.
 
Thanks for your efforts Markus.
