Today's aircraft navigation aids do Identify with a sort of modulated CW but the
transmitter carrier is constant and does not go on and off with the keying of
the tone.
When running true modulated CW, the carrier is keyed with the audio tone
creating a great QRM busting signal, wide yes, but unique and easy to tune in.
Putting on the BFO and listening to it was a treat, you could hear all sorts of
audio harmonics in the signal. I have ran it on two meters during contests and
really stirred up an audience but the nice thing about it was you didn't get any
dupe contacts, everyone remembered the signal. Too bad we can't run it on 40
meters, probably wouldn't be any worse than hearing all that "buck shot" running
up and down the band from the 11 meter troops running all that audio.
