I wonder if an unbroken string of 11 CQ's from a buffer would trigger this?
Such a string happens to me a lot (unfortunately).

Can you be a little more informative about this "easter egg". What harm
does it do? Does it transmit a message? Is it just something to be cleared
from the screen (and how do you clear it)?
