Pedantic note: PSK use Varicode 
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Varicode>, not ASCII. The take 
home message about Varicode is that --like CW -- it is variable 
in length with the frequently occurring characters being 
shorter. Also, lower case letters are shorter than their upper 
case equivalents, so upper case only messages take longer to transmit.
