I was monitoring with dial frequency of 184.0 to see what I might detect
with Argo. I didn't see anything after about 30 minutes, so I closed
Argo. I had just closed Argo when I was startled by some loud CW. At
first I wasn't sure if it was coming from the computer or from the
receiver. I switched to Spectran just in time to see the end of the
transmission. It was right at 1000 Hz. I didn't get to visually decode
the CW, but my ear's memory was that it was dit dah dit dah dah dit dah
dit without any clear indication of separate letters. I heard it as R G
N, but since I was caught by surprise I can't be certain I remembered it
correctly. The pattern was repeated a few times in rapid succession and
then abruptly ended. This was at about 03:00 GMT.
Did I have an auditory hallucination? Has anyone else ever seen (or
heard) this?
