I always hear CW coming from "things" after a contest. We would joke after
the contest why the zone 37 station we were hearing from the refrigerator
didn't call us during the contest.

I thought I was the only one hearing CW after the event! However, on one
occasion, there was a good reason. Driving home Friday before CQWW CW, I was
listening to CW on the car CD player, warming up for contest. I think they
were clips from K1ZM topband book/CD. Monday, I hopped in the car to go to
work, and could hear CW! The CD was still in the player from Friday.
