First, I can transmit the sidetone of the radio (what you hear in the headphones), but it won't have any static. I can record it, and perhaps record some read static, and someone could mix them together.

Sorry I don't understand that....what is a static and what is a sidetone?
I think I know someone who could do a good mix, anyway  |
OK, static is the white noise you hear on a radio when there isn't a station there. Tune an AM or FM radio to a part on the dial where there is no station. That is 'static'.
The 'sidetone' on a radio transmitter is simply a tone that is activated whenever you press the key down. It lets you monitor what your Morse sounds like. Sending Morse without a sidetone is possible, but like a deaf person trying to speak it is harder to tell when you make a mistake.
If you want to know what the sidetone on my radio sounds like, here is a little movie I posted over in this SHIV thread (
http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=117155) that shows my fingers, and my key. I'm sending using just the sidetone, no signal is going over the air:
This is what I am sending:
"CQ CQ CQ DE N2KMF N2KMF N2KMF VVV SEE I TOLD YOU SO HI HI"
Note the lack of any static. When receiving a real signal, there would be static unless conditions were unusually quiet and the signal was unusually strong.
I'll do a little more research. Perhaps someone at NSA or GCHQ can help.
