I thought it was illegal to change modes during the EMF stage... ??
You should be able to remodulate your carrier to offset the gravimetric
effect on the signal
as it nears subspace. I scavenged a modulator wheel from an electronic piano
and work it with the left
hand whilst straight-keying with my right, as obviously this can't be done
with a keyer or bug of any kind.
Manual manipulation of each character's component time/phase is a must to
get a synch.

Now, today, we have such things a PSK31 to do much of the grunt work.
That will work as well as CW in most cases, I find.


Don't forget thought that solar flares and especially the aurora they
create induce a phase shift in signals and that wipes out PSK31.

True, I've never had much success during 2 metere aurora openings with
anything BUT CW. It ain't CW by the time it gets to the other end, but
it's still readable there.
