I don't think that's what the 4096 cluster is for. :-)  Someone who is 
anonymous (I'm willing to bet he's a radio amateur) set these little 
low-power transmitters up probably as a propagation study. They send long 
dashes, "W" and "I" in Morse.

There's a photo on the Spynumbers website that is supposedly of one of the 
transmitters.  They can't run more than a watt - probably more like a 
hundred milliwatts or so.  I've watched them on the waterfall display of 
Spectran. It's kind of neat to see them pop in and out of the noise here.
