Two reasons I think Neil - firstly the name 'Phase Shift Keying' - any mode 
which is prone to phase changes during propagation - which occur quite often 
on 80m - is by definition useless, especially in evening contests.

Secondly, the whole culture of PSK day-to-day QSOs is completely opposite to 
the philosophy of contesters - a mish-mash of time-wasting macros and 
unwanted information.
