Come to think of it, it could have been the Radio telemetry channel monitor on the satellite uplink. Are there any Satty Bird guys out there to confirm that? I only hand cranked a satellite track a couple of times by watching the signal strength meter just to help the satellite tech while he was troubleshooting the tracking problem and don't remember listening to the telemetry signal.

There used to be a morse ID constantly transmitted on an audio sub carrier on C band transponders...not sure if they still are. I used that once to detect if a rotor I made had properly moved to point at the proper satellite.

The Morse was “CQ”. Whoever wrote the script was probably a Ham poking fun at the non-Hams.
