[Spooks] Morse Code Broadcast

[Brian Reedy]

I think the guy that posted the note about it being caused by a cell phone
in dead on.  Granted, I don't know nearly as much about this topic as
probably 90% of you do but I work for a police dispatch center where I
have ~20 VHF radios and a 400+ channel 800mhz system in front of me as I
type this.  Lets just say I've seen a few anomolies in my day including,
but not limited to, a semi driver with a amped up CB interfering with an
in-car repeater and coming across a ~440mhz frequency (specifically it was
the fact that he was pulled over by an officer and it was loud and clear).

One of our former employees had a cellular phone that would cause
interference with our VHF radios *and* the AM talk newsstation (580 if it
matters) that I occasionally listen to on slow days.  It sounded PRECISELY
like a Morse code message and lasted for about 7 seconds.  I took her phone
in the radio room one night and sent a text message...the radios went
berzerk.  Just a thought.
