I think that it would be an interesting experiment to transmit voice on SSB
with a continuous FT8 transmission (maybe at around the 1kHz offset) and
see whether there is a combination of offset & volume difference that makes
the FT8 decodable if the SSB is barely understandable or better, and yet
have the FT8 transmission be essentially inaudible.

I'd like the FT8 transmission to just send the sender's callsign and
locator and not much else. This could be entirely automated by the
radio/microphone/speech processor/whatever.
