I was up in the novice band again tonight, calling CQ (with no answers). I 
heard some weird signals. 

The weirdest is on exactly 3700.00 LSB; exactly every 40 seconds, a recording 
of Yosemite Sam saying, "Varmint, I'm-a gonna blow you to smithereens!!" Can 
anyone else hear that?

But aside from this unidentified signal, there are many other mystery signals. 
For example, I planted myself on 3720 and halfway through my CQ I heard a weak 
carrier. I paused, thinking it was somebody trying to break me, but nothing. 
This happened on several other frequencies between 3700 and 3723 or so. It was 
as if I was triggering an automated station with my signal. At one point, I was 
lighting up these weak carriers and 'long dash' stations as I tuned down from 
3720, leaving a trail of them in my wake. Does anyone know what these are?

No wonder nobody goes into the Novice band anymore! What an unpleasant 
experience.
