I work as a audio engineer for a large radio group in Auckland New Zealand. 
One time I was making a small radio drama telling the story of a New 
Zealander who had been captured in World Wore 2 and his experiences in the 
POW camps and the like. At one part of the story he told how they had built 
a receiver and how they knew more about how the wore was going then the 
Germans running the camp. I had to come up with some sort of sound effects 
so I took some radio static and then made morse out of 1k tones. I made it 
sound like my US call sign was trying to contact my ZL call sign. Don’t know 
if any one ever noticed that one. One other time I was making the opening to 
a program and they wanted it to be sort of newsy sounding so I did the same 
thing but this time I had the morse calling CQCQCQ DE and the name of the 
radio station. Years later we had a guy who came to work with us who was a 
ham and one day we were talking about stuff and I told him the story and he 
said he remembered hearing that one.
