Beethoven, you say?

 From 1983 to circa 2000 I listened daily to the BBC World Service on shortwave, mostly 9410 kHz which had the best signal. The shortwaves always were full of Morse signals, as well as weird voices and languages and just noise. One such Morse source sat right next to 9410 and sent bursts of V:s: ..._ ..._ ..._ - in later years I learnt more about our recent history like for instance that V for Victory was the call sign for the BBC in Europe during the War. So of course that signal should sit right next to the World Service.

But I heard that signal so much it got into my subconscious. Like the Master ten years ago I keep drumming the bu-bu-bu-bom over and over, especially when I'm not really focussed. The Master was crazy; I blame the BBC. Which pretty much comes to the same thing.
