FYI, here is the PSK63 contest info.
Quick PSK63 Contest
Sponsored by the K3UK Digital Radio Reflector
Announcing the First Ever PSK63 "Quick PSK" Contest.
This contest will use the PSK63 method developed by Skip Teller KH6TY. The
version of PSK63 offers 100 WPM PSK with narrow bandwidth at 100WPM, ideal for
contesting !
To enter the contest you will need software that supports this version of
PSK63. To date, known software that supports this form of PSK63 is WINPSK,
WINPSKse. Quik PSK , DXPSK,Logger32, PSK31 Deluxe, PSK-Pal, RCKRtty, W1SQLPSK
and Zakanaka . These programs require that you replace the PSKCORE.DLL in your
PSK folder with new PSK63 Core available at
http://www.qsl.net/kh6ty/psk63/psk63core.zip .
For help in accomplishing this please join the Digital Radio Reflector at
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/digitalradio/ and request assistance.
DATE : Start 0000 UTC September 6 and end 2359 UTC September 6 2003
Bands: 80, 40, 20, 15, and 10 m.
Example : The suggested area for PSK63 operation on 20 meters is just above the
PSK31 activity, or starting at 14072.5 and extending to the beginning of the

sideband, and the dial frequency to 14072.0. Use the same concept for the
