That's extremely fast! What you're describing is (assuming 5-char
words and a space between each one) 6 * 1200 chars per second, or 6
* 1200 * 8 bits per second.
I assume you mean something equivalent to 1200 baud packet speed in
terms of characters transferred. That's 1200 bits per second.
I don't know whether a CW system could be designed that would
compete with 1200 baud AX.25 packet. There must be a good reason
that people went with the 2-tone modem originally. Perhaps coherent
CW would suffice for this idea, which I think is a two-tone modem
anyway isn't it?
