Steve,
Having done PSK in the RTTY Roundup a few times, I agree with you.
There were several occsaions when I was ready to push F1 again for
another CQ, not hearing anyone come back to me, but when I looked up
at the screen, someone printed SOLID.
With the signal from VU4 as weak as it is, copy with PSK will be much
more reliable.
