Or better yet, when some smart programmer comes up with a replacement
for RTTY that uses Forward Error Correction (FEC) and is equally fast,
or nearly so. Then all these multiple decoders will be a thing of the
past, I hope.

There are plenty of FEC modes that ensure near perfect copy, but they
are painfully slow for contesting. There is one called Contestia but I
don't know of any contests using it so it hasn't really been evaluated
by many folks.  I have called CQ with it but never made a contact. 

Dream on.
