	That's what we think too.  Best "DX" out of here was Mike Mideke in San
Simeon at a bit over 220 miles.  That was also long, long ago when
things were quieter.

	We do want to try PSKAM10 as well, to see if it has any advantages.  On
80 meters multipath fading and phase reversals seem to make it at best
no better than PSK31 at ranges of a few hundred miles.

	As for slower BPSK modes none of us is a programmer who could work out
stuff for a sound card and don't have enough ambition to try to put
together a DSP version.  One gets lazy as the years go by and by and by!
