[OKDXA] Horrific key clicks on 30 m last night

Did anyone hear the HK0GU/1 station last night on about 10104? As I was 
listening sometime around 9 PM or so, a station started up on 10110 that 
generated key clicks across at *least* 25 kHz. I never heard any call 
letters, though some of it sounded a bit like they were in QSO with someone 
else.  Everything was obviously sent with a straight key, and it was all 
either random characters or encrypted. The signal was extremely strong at 
my house: S9+50-60 dB with some QSB.

Anyone else hear this?  Any idea what it was?
