Quote from Holmes:
And not to forget morse (just the carrier). Do you know morse? Up to 35 words / min with a straight key (prior to PC's) and using 5 W and a simple dipole to work 100 countries? Something else that is obsolete now.
But the ones that give the best signals are SSB and DSB.
I like DSB best for a number of reasons but the most important one is that if there is interference than you can switch to SSB and use one of the two sidebands. (redundancy built in, half the signal is sufficient to keep on going)
Never cared much for PLL, too much spurious crap.
Oh, those were them days (showing my age now).

The single wire of the telegraph running from Whitehorse to Dawson (almost 500 miles) runs on the right bank looking downstream. You can imagine the news, mountie travails and steamboat schedules all running on the line during the gold rush. I have a couple of anodes from broken glass batteries I picked up along the way.
I learned the code by making a code card with the dots on the left and the dashes on the right. Four levels on the card. He used letter frequency of use as the code selection criteria.
His home was in Cherry Valley, NY. My great aunt leased then bought it wooden circuit boards and stacks of paintings et al. Presently, my son chooses to live there. Look up W2VJA......lol.
I don't know what PLL is.
The deep down break through for making money is that small solitary notion that making money requires change. Have to hold to get the change. Have to reverse to stay on the right side of the market. Do the hold and reverse where the highest money velocity is without taking any breaks. Or for long trading only do Xovers based on exiting decreasing money velocity to go into increasing money velocity. (the best use of money theorem).
Synthesizing harmonics on a carrier starts so far away from where money is made, that most people can't back into the carrier properly. It is so strange how a path through analogy after analogy is required to get to the significance of market sequences and causal relations. Inductance, capacitance, resistance in a dynamic realm that lets energy move among fields
Designing filters for periodic wave forms is something else. When the waveforms are modulated in three ways the impedance is too, it turns out.
for the markets, I started digitally in 1957 and found that thinking of just change to make money had to be the BASE. Time rate of change. So I always worked with derivatives of price and the counterpoint of time rate of change of volume. Time chopping was done daily then. Delta. Delta.
As you found out, all operational principles work in any time chopping mode. Any fractal or tickometer collection setting.
The tickometer never appealed to me however.
I'll tell you though, Interlacing 1/2 period (let it go at just the time chopping frequency) offset data feeds is something else. My shift from Dumont 'scopes to the Techtronix dc scopes that wwere interlaced was such an impacting thing. Not wanting to see that dull streak in market data, figuratively speaking, was what was on my mind.
To see a chart forming 15 minutes ahead of the market and to see the zone get "molded" into the price "curve" really made my day.
Picture the culminating event as something like SEC citations for cheating. They did detection by after the fact broker location and account time of trade analysis. I had multiple accounts by then.
What we were looking at was price forming up in the space to the right of the active bar.
Visualize narrow vertical rectangles of two alternating colors where their individual length (volatility) was adjusted periodically and and the same time they were moving into their final positon through vertical slippage (pace adjustments) for relative alignment purposes.
So today we have all the data we want in any form we want. Going minimalist is the groove. The main signal and corroberation. Too bad for new people coming into trading they will never get exposed to the underlying gismos that make it so reliable and solid. The anomoly generation has arrived.
