>>>it seems to be a pretty old technique.
It is, and it has long ties to 22 meters, too. Several years ago I prepared
an article for The LOWDOWN that was based on an RCA Review article from the
early Sixties. They had made some very slow CW transmissions in the
vicinity of 13.56 MHz with a pocket-size rig running Part 15 power levels,
and received them halfway or more across the continent. At the time, there
were no PCs or software like Argo, of course. They used closely spaced
crystal filters and integrated the detected signals in hardware rather than
FFT bins. I seem to recall they tried a number of speeds, and what we now
call QRSS3 was considered the slowest rate practical for that band because
of QSB.
Ah, the good old days. However, I definitely like Alberto's solution
better!
