This argument is futile. Regardless of how FT8 works, CW is an analog
mode along its entire RF signal path - a mode that can be decoded by
people. If CW is sliced and diced to make it a digital RF mode that
has to be un-sliced and un-diced before being output in an audible form,
then it's no longer CW.
AB7E is welcome to his "enhanced CW", but count me out - it's time to
get real.

I know how FT8 works (I've studied Joe's papers and researched the
principles) and I would have no intention of making anything else work
like FT8 does. It's simply too restrictive, particularly for
contesting. But the signal processing behind FT8 is applicable to
several different communication formats. If you really knew how FT8
works you'd understand that.

Wrong. FT8 has nothing to do with CW, but the signal processing behind
it could be used to significantly enhance CW. Think RTTY with MUCH
better S/N and an audible output instead of text on the screen.

That communication technique has nothing in common with CW at all!

The signal processing techniques utilized in FT8 could have been
used to
enhance the signal-to-noise of normal CW in a way that would have been
virtually transparent to the operator
