I found that it worked very nicely. It has one BIG advantage for contesting
over RTTY, most programs allow multiple receive which RTTY does not. You can
have a bunch ready to get to. I had NO problem with a wide bandwidth using
my TS870, none at all.
The real problem for contest peroration is that WriteLog does not do PSK63
and if you are going to do a REAL contest you need a REAL contest log and
WriteLog is it. Until the real contest loggers implement the mode it is
doomed for serious contesting.
IT IS FUN!
