Show us.
I don't usually accept usenet challenges for cites since I have other things
to do but what the hey, you seem like a decent guy so I made an exception:
§97.3 Definitions.
(c) The following terms are used in this Part to indicate emission types.
Refer to §2.201 of the FCC Rules, Emission, modulation and transmission
characteristics, for information on emission type designators.
(1) CW. International Morse code telegraphy emissions having designators
with A, C, H, J or R as the first symbol; 1 as the second symbol; A or B as
the third symbol; and emissions J2A and J2B.
M = Modulation Type
N None
A AM (Amplitude Modulation), double sideband, full carrier
H AM, single sideband, full carrier
R AM, single sideband, reduced or controlled carrier
J AM, single sideband, suppressed carrier
B AM, independent sidebands
C AM, vestigial sideband (commonly analog TV)
F Angle-modulated, straight FM
G Angle-modulated, phase modulation (common; sounds like FM)
D Carrier is amplitude and angle modulated
P Pulse, no modulation
K Pulse, amplitude modulation (PAM, PSM)
L Pulse, width modulation (PWM)
M Pulse, phase or position modulation (PPM)
Q Pulse, carrier also angle-modulated during pulse
W Pulse, two or more modes used
X All cases not covered above
N = Nature of modulating signal
0 None
1 Digital, on-off or quantized, no modulation
2 Digital, with modulation
3 Single analog channel
7 Two or more digital channels
8 Two or more analog channels
9 Composite, one or more digital channel, one or more analog
X All cases not covered above
I = Information type
N None
A Aural telegraphy, for people (Morse code)
B Telegraphy for machine copy (RTTY, fast Morse)
C Analog fax
D Data, telemetry, telecommand
E Telephony, voice, sound broadcasting
F Video, television
W Combinations of the above
X All cases not covered above
Note that, in general, every permitted CW emission is AM and has a "1" in
the middle. Note that it must be in Morse (I assume you agreed with that).
J2 (SSB) is allowed (for what it's worth) but note that it must be either
keyed on/off or quantized (*digital*).
Note that in no case is any form analog modulation permitted in the FCC
definition. It may only be on/off keyed or "on/off" by digital modulation.
Tones are analog transmissions. You cannot use the RTTY "mark" tone as
FCC-defined CW.
Checkmate.
