There has been a report that the transmissions ceased at about the time a 
small group of avid HF listeners were near the front gate of the above 
mentioned site.   It appeared to them that the unauthorized transmissions 
were being made by an employee at the site and that some official attention 
to the events caused him to quit.

My google search:
<http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=Yosemite+Sam&btnG=Google+>
finds 208,000 hits, but on the first page I find:
http://www.spynumbers.com/YosemiteSam.html
at which you can find a fairly authoritative history of the transmissions.

By the way, the transmission of the sound clip from a cartoon provided the 
name for these transmissions:  "Yosemite Sam is an animated cartoon 
character in the Warner Brothers Looney Tunes series of cartoons. "
