[Lowfer] MFSK8 vs. PSKFEC31

[Jay Rusgrove]

Thanks to WM1KE, W3EEE, W3NF, N8TL, KN8AZN, VE2IQ and VE3EAR for the test results. Hope I didn't miss anyone...apologies if I did. Apparently most, but not all, gave the nod to PSKFEC31 as most tolerant of fading. Band conditions were fairly quiet so QRN tolerance may not have been adequately tested. Might be worthwhile to run this same test over again on a noisier night...as Steve points out. Time and place to be announced. One thing is apparent...modes with error correction work significantly better. This of course comes at the cost of reduced throughput and/or broader signals.

Thanks again for the reports.
