I've gone through the International Morse Code guide, and it has to be two characters that are being put together when transmitted. Going by what Tom's dsecribing, the only combos I can come up with are "EL", "ID", "UI", and "FE". Something else to think about -- if it was being broadcast at JUST the top and bottom of the hour, it may be part of a news network's sounder, so it may not even be a station at all. 73, Rick Dau South Omaha, Nebraska

While listening to KRMO 990 on 9/16 I noted five occurances of "code" at top of hour and the half hour. I hesitate to use the word "Morse Code" beause the code character is not a known alpha/numeric or punctuation mark or other character that I am aware of. The code heard is .._.. (dit dit dah dit dit) sent at very high speed. You need to slow it down to hear the individual dits and the dah. Does anyone know the source or the purpose? At the same time the code was heard CKGM was strong, CBW was there but nulled, KRMO was in/out and WGSO was also heard. The character heard is not the same as the familiar Cuban RR. I can send anyone interested in hearing this a short audio clip.
