The "problem" with this is that the settings for 45.45 baud are not
appropriate for 75 baud.  In particular, one will need more bandwidth
for 75 baud ... profiles like the AA6YQ-FIR-512, "hyper sensitive"
and "EU1SA" are too tight for 75 baud - particularly in the presence
of multipath and/or selective fading.

I would expect the difference between 2-Tone decoding and MMTTY to be
much more pronounced at 75 baud than at 45.45 baud.

73,

Whatever Profile you use for your base settings will also be used for your new 75 baud Profile. If during the contest you decide that MMTTY isn't decoding well enough and want to try switching to a different Profile you will find yourself back to 45 baud!
