Tom & Sam-

That is what I was going to suggest. It is a common practice to send a
partially reduced carrier that doesn't eat up a lot of power, but allows
you to synchronize to it using a synchronous detector.

The Canadian time and frequency standard transmitters at 3330 and 7335 kHz
are USB with partially reduced carrier. I don't see the point of sending a
tone in the middle of the speech spectrum to provide a sync reference when
unsuppressing the carrier to some degree is much more economical.
