I note a new version of PSK that now has...




"100 wpm character transmission speed for contest exchanges and  macro
transmission versus RTTY at 60 wpm
Only 1/5 the bandwidth of RTTY - capable of displaying 25 signals
simultaneously on a waterfall or spectrum display
Fast, easy, point-and-click tuning using the mouse or keyboard arrowkey
tuning
Capable of color thumbnail portrait transmission in less than 2 minutes
Faster error recovery than RTTY
Requires much less power than RTTY for the same communication performance
Identical to PSK31 except for wider bandwidth of 63 Hz
Improved polar path performance compared to PSK31
Works with any soundcard-equipped Windows computer and SSB transceiver
Initial testing on 20 meters between 14072.5 and 14080.0 KHz
Experimental software available now: "

Could be intersting...  Still no QSO yet though
