Thanks to Steve, Tom and Lloyd for the reports from last night. The 
DOMINO mode is interesting, but is limited by the slow sync time on the 
decoder. There's no question that PSKFEC31 was the winner, though the 
throughput is lower, and it's limited to the upper case characters.

The PSK10 reports on XGR/3 looked pretty clean as well. Without any 
error correction, it shouldn't be as fade-tolerant, however.

And to Warren, I called you on SSB during the pauses in your 
transmission, but didn't get a response. You must have been in 
beacon-only mode.

As Jay reports, we'll be doing some independent tests, and will announce 
them. 137 is also calling me, so WD2XES will probably be back on in a 
couple of days.

John Andrews, W1TAG / WE2XGR/3
