Yes, that's the way i understood it. And it did have electronic tone, no
identifiable musical instrument. I never did wait around long enough to 
catch any actual traffic.  
When i think of bagpipes, i think of a moderate paced tune, but this thing
was played at a pretty fast clip, isn't that so?

I think it may have been just a way of "occupying" a frequency.  On some of
the Air Force frequecnies you could hear, "Goose Bay,  Goose Bay this is
Gander, this is Gander.  Do not answer.  Do not answer."  That would go on
for hours, days, or weeks;  depending on traffic.
