So what digital mode do you think is "best"?

PSK-31 maybe, where the proponents mistakenly believe that you don't need decent 
antennas or more than 10W to send brag files that put a normal human being to 
sleep?

    "Hello my good friend Wes.  It is a pleasure to QSO you this first time.  My
    name is Jose and I was created in December 1960.  My dog's name is Poochsito
    and my locator is El10jh. The equipment here is an Elecraft K3-10 with the
    built-in tuner and the 8-pole 2.8 KHz filter, running 8.65 W to a wet noodle
    antenna up 6.5 meters and fed with 30.33 meters of RG8X.  Computer is a
    10GHz 8-core POS with 32Gb ram running a patched version of Cobal...
    Interface is an ABC Technology Turbo 29 with the Gigabyte accelerator chip. 
    Audio is fed to the Turbo 29 via Monster Cable SuperFlex HCOF with
    gold-plated connectors. Ham Radio Deluxe is used because it is way too
    complicated for the average ham and makes we holier-than-thou operators feel
    superior. Well OM... was my pleasure to QSO you. I QSL100 percent via eQSL
    after receipt of $10 US via Paypal. I wish you good health and happiness in
    2014 and want to take this opportunity to wish you and your family a
    wonderful Christmas and a Happy 2015.  73s AR N7WS de XE3BS SK SK SK... QSO
