Because it does a better job than rtty (less fills) in less space. If everyone used PSK63 instead of RTTY, there would not be so many complaints by non-contesters about having so little space to use during contests. A PSK63 stations signal, operated linearly, takes up only 1/5 the space of a RTTY signal.
Isn't accomplishing the same job in less bandwidth what we should all be trying to do in an ever more crowded world? It is not like adding CW to a phone contest because both RTTY and PSK63 are keyboard modes. Phone and CW are not. 73, Skip KH6TY ----- Original Message ----- From: ""John Becker, WØJAB"" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <digitalradio@yahoogroups.com> Sent: Sunday, November 18, 2007 8:21 PM Subject: Re: [digitalradio] PSK63 activity! > At 07:10 PM 11/18/2007, you wrote: >>Yes, it is very gratifying to see it finally take off a little.
