The real villain here is excessive receiver bandwidth.  I'm looking
forward to the day when everyone has the capability of 100 Hz or less
receive bandwidth.  Then PSK31 may well become the #1 choice of DXers.
If PSK31 is good with 10 watts, imagine how much farther you can go
with 1000.  Food for thought.
