If you can adjust driving power to obtain the desired out, the CW
position becomes basically meaningless, expecially if considering that
tubes work better at 3Kv plate voltage.
Anyway, to realize a ST-by position without drilling anything and
leaving unmodified the SSB/CW switch, or you place an external switch
along the PTT line, or you replace the meter switch with one having 4
positions and two sections, using the second section to switch on and
off the PTT line.
