Yes, I heard the same thing. It made it very difficult to understand the voice contact as the audio went all wobbly. And I also detected the CW splatter.

Very strong signals over North America around 2200Z, I was having a nice QSO with KC4LE, reducing my power to 1 watt when my signal started to warble a bit, until someone started CQing in CW with such a strong signal that the whole passband was pulsing up and down. Eventually the Mode B transponder shut off under the strain.
Using excessive power on a linear transponder is a violation of two sections of Part 97: using minimum power necessary to complete the communcations and causing harmful interference to other stations. We need an ARRL OO to listen to a few passes and send some OO notices!
