I operated PSK when it was first introduced to the Roundup and won the
Editor's plaque 2 years in a row for high PSK score (2000 and 2001.)
IIRC, I worked about 200 stations, many of whom were not in the contest.
On one hand, PSK is slower. However, on the other hand, I was amazed
when not hearing any reply and about to push the F1 key again, stations
calling printed on the screen.
For the weakest of the weak, PSK is far superior to Baudot. If your
rate slows down, you may find some new stations and even some new mults
in PSK-land.
