You're right, scrambled transmissions on the amateur bands are not
permitted.

I trust that this takes it out of the realm of Amaetur. I don't know alot
about HAM, enough to get me my Technician Class license, but I wouldn't
think that scrambling voice transmissions was permitted. I realize that
there are digital communications in use by HAMs, but I don't believe that
I
would be able to hear them as well as I could if they were digital.

I don't think it was you. I have received signals like this myself. In
sideband and scrambled.
