yes, it went on for years, you never knew when or where on the frequency band it would show up, sometimes it would come in so loud it would startle you and hurt your ears while you were trying to listen to some faint far away signal
we talked about how it must have been Russian, because our directional antennas could tell us the general direction the signal was coming from, but we didn't really know what it was for sure at the time
there are lots of strange things on the radio waves that you run across, weird sounding data signals used by military, "numbers" stations that are broadcast for spies in other countries, strange atmospheric and cosmic sounds, it's pretty cool actually
