The ONLY way a "spark" transmitter could send anything called
communications information was by on-off keying.


Damn, Old Timer, you got it wrong again! In Boston, on Christmas Eve
of 1906, modulating a spark transmitter, Reginald Fessenden made a
holiday broadcast of a short spoken introduction, some recorded
Chistmas music, and played "Oh Holy Night" on a violin.

Obviously a "spark" transmitter was not limited to ONLY (your
emphasis) on-off keying.

Sunuvagun! Good luck on this one now.

With all kind wishes,
