Silly me, Henry, all this time of being an old fart, I thought cw was the
first digital (on and off, modulated by keying) modulation technique...
and as far as punching signals through the noise, you will find it hard
to beat (without the military budget) that active filter most humans have
between the ears, occupying the cranial cavity.

hmmm, where did I go wrong all those years???
