Hmmm....

Modulation: USB w/carrier. Amplitude -90%, +150%
Audio: CW I.D. 'AOH' using tone freq. of 1750 Hz. at 7 WPM.

Wouldn't it be more efficient to just shift the carrier 1750 Hz and
run
A1
instead of A3H? Like, something on the order of 500% more efficient?


More efficient, but you couldn't receive it on AM

All the better.

I kinda agree with Frank here. The folks that'll likely take an interest
in
this are the 11-meter "hobbyists," 99.9% of whom operate SSB. I copied
some
(Approx. 15) Sugar Delta stations operating CWon ch. 38 USB a week or
so
back. Sounded like a contest, but what was particularly interesting was
that
they were working each other on USB while folks enjoyed fairly
interference
free voice on LSB. Strange world, eh? The ITU drops CW as a req. for HF
on
ham...while folks work CW on CB...go figure.

Hey Bert, I know there is NO WAY hams could be elmering CBers to turn them
into hams, right? Well, at least after reading here, that's what one would
think.

;-)

All the time, I hope. BTW, many never mention that the larger 11-meter
groups are usually comprised of a good many hams as well. The CW I copied
was definitely SD's, so you're likely quite accurate. Take care now. ;-)
