Default Yosemite Sam??

What's the point? Just a weird signal to confuse people?

Someone over at Free Radio Network posted the following today:

"6900USB 2308-2322 SIO444 hearing this again. Data burst, then Yosemite
Sam making funny noise and "take me to the Casbah". no code this time.
repeated 7 times and off. Then on again after 3 mintues with same
routine."

Could this be the Return of Sam?

I somehow doubt that it's the 'real' Sam, since the 'real' Sam got busted.

Yes. It's also a much stronger signal at my location than the original
Sam ever was. I think this is best described as a "copycat Sam".

I'm not sure what the point was of the original Sam broadcasts, though
someone here might be able to shed light on it. As for this "copycat"
Sam, my guess is that he's just being a copycat, probably in the hope
of generating discussion.
