Bob, If you're looking for best DX with most listeners I agree with 
Laurence's suggestion of DFCW60. I think Wolf may be the most sensitive 
mode in terms of snr needed to convey a short message in a fixed time 
period. But, as was pointed out by Jay very accurate calibration is 
needed on both TX and RX ends and that scares away many. Deep search 
opera32 is pretty good but at least so far the software is "beta" at 
best. WSPRX-15 isn't as sensitive but is fairly easy to use, except 
perhaps for reporting, hi. As Christmas nears you might give John, W1TAG 
some competition and transmit images from Hell, as it were. Argo at 
QRSS3 can display them nicely.
