None of this will increase the rate...this time.
But when will the "standard" baud rate ever get deemed as too slow? In the year
2525?
I'm sure it will tick a whole bunch of people off, but having DXpeditions work
higher baud rates will perhaps get the mojo going to a higher baud rate as
"standard." After all, machines are doing all the transmitting and translating;
it isn't like a person needing to copy 100 wpm Morse code.
