  Mark,

Actually, an SSB signal modulated by a single tone sine wave IS a CW
transmission.  There have been SSB transmitters commercially built which
did exactly that for CW - but that was in times past.

If the supressed carrier is sufficiently below the RF amplitude of the
transmitted tone to meet the FCC requirements for spurs, then it is
perfectly legal.

Don't try that with an AM signal - that becomes MCW which is illegal for
HF amateur bands.
