If the frequency is very close to 136.0kHz, this is something that has
fooled many of us into trying for hours to read the 'Morse'. It is
probably
the result of a mix between several other stations (outside your Rx) and
is
a series of tones of different strength (hence it sounds like CW) and
slightly different frequencies.
Thanks, Mike. I was rapidly coming to that conclusion, I'll have to check
the receiver out. With the front end filtering I have and the signals I see
out of band, I hadn't expected any intermods.
