  • Excellent, but I have a question

    Love this podcast for keeping up-to-date with ARRL news from a national, and even world perspective. I do have a question, between each section of the ARRL Audio News, there's a morse code three bleep series of tones that sounds like a dah-dit-dit, or a lettter "D" Does anyone have any idea why this is there? Or is the producer just being cute!?
