Has anyone heard that radio commercial on WYOO 101.1 that broadcasts the number "30950?" It starts with the number followed by the commercial. I forget what they're advertising, but it's really cool to hear real cw, as opposed to "gibberish."

Panama City Real CW in a commercial

What in the world is "real cw"? Also if you can't remember what it's advertising, the commercial sounds like it needs a rewrite.
Real Morse Code. I probably should have said that originally. My apologies.
“CW” stands for “Continuous Wave”, an unmodulated carrier. Morse Code is created by turning the carrier on and off in the “dots” and “dashes” pattern. Superheterodyne receivers use a beat frequency oscillator to create a tone from the carrier. Old school regenerative receivers had a feedback adjustment that would do the same thing.
When I saw the title, I thought they were talking about the TV network.
Were they using Morse code to make it sound like an old-time news broadcast? In that case, the pattern of dots and dashes is just an "artist's impression", and trying to decode it will give you gibberish.

Yes it was supposed to sound like an old broadcast, but was actual numbers in code.
Understood, just used to calling it cw.
Here is the clip showing Continuous Wave. Yes it sounds like when one mentions telegraph and Morse code used from the past.
Is that the right YT video? That's just some guy listening to a 40 meter CW contact on his ham rig, and he's using a piece of PVC elbow pipe to direct the sound.
CW has used International Morse Code, as opposed to American Morse Code from the 19th century telegraph lines, pretty much since radio began.
Just heard it again. It's for " Emerald Coast Rheumatology" center.
