Paul,
Yes, that is an Opera signal.
Opera uses on/off keying rather like QRS.
The characters are quite different to normal morse code.
The decoder does the hard work, it decodes & displays.
You don't need to be more than a few Hz away, it is very robust.
The Opera decoder will decode multiple Opera signals around the same
frequency.
On 136 kHz the pass band is centered on 137.500 (+/- 50 Hz).
Here is a screen shot.

Oh, I just looked at your screenshot Gary. So that's what Opera
looks like. I thought it was Morse code, no wonder I couldn't
read it!
It doesn't take up much bandwidth does it? How many Hz away do
I need to be, to not cause interference to Opera? Only a couple
of Hz I guess.
