Is that a beacon?
 

What would send repeating cw characters LQ on 381.33kc? theres
actually a bunch of them scattered about down there. I usually don't
go down by them.

There is an "LQ" lowfer beacon listed out of Springfield, Illinois on 375
KHz.

Here's a page with a bunch of LF beacons heard out of Wisconsin; maybe you
can identify more of the ones you're hearing after checking this list:
