Don's comments are right on, as usual.  I would love to experiment with
PSK31 in a high power, narrow bandwidth configuration, but to do that in
the existing segment would bring down the wrath of everyone there.

In the meantime, would anyone like to make some PSK31 vs RTTY
comparisons in terms of weak signal copyability?  We could try using
very low power - one watt or so - and send a canned text for comparison.
Please email me or post a reply to this message and let's set some
schedules.  

Should be interesting!
