James, That's what I meant but it looks like I didn't express myself very well, sorry! - however, in my defence, I do recall I mentioned MCW.
Already had a few negative "comments" re: my suggestion but I'm an old fart and I'm *not* going to apologise for it.
I've been telling people for years !!! my last remaining active braincell is on it's last legs ... like AO-7, I only operate in sunlight !!.
As long as it's fun and I'm not doing anybody any harm nor stepping on anyones toes other than verbally - why not !!!.

John - Why not do both, that is key the PTT and inject a tone into the audio, resulting in a MCW signal with no more duty cycle than a CW signal?
I remember a lot of keyed FM signals on Oscar 7 the first time around. Lots of chirp accompanied by enthusiasm. :^)= - Duffey -- James Duffey KK6MC/5 Cedar Crest NM 87008 DM65
