Who on Earth is ‘Yosemite Sam’?

E2k received this notification from BR who wrote,

'I have received a report from a listener in the USA, reporting a signal on 3.7 MHz - details from email. "Strange sigs on 3.700 mhz LSB for two nights running heard S9 all across the US. Continuous, timed transmissions, operating 24 hrs. every 40 seconds, a digital burst followed by Yosemite Sam saying "Varmint, I'm gonna blow you to smithereens". "

A sound sample was received with the email [Heard by E2k and commented on below]. Not strictly ENIGMA material, but as it's Xmas..... 3.7 MHz? LSB? -- Guess someone's winding up the Hams.'

The sound sample was just as described, a veritable wind-up indeed; that is unless somebody knows different!

[Tnx BR]
