Skip, I agree with you. My considerations to prefer in HF Contestia 250/4 format is related to the idea to find some compromise for bpsk31 folk, Olivia light users, and rtty folk when the propagation is not enough good for bpsk31 and rtty. So Cnt 250/4 with 39wpm is the first alternative for

Jaak, I agree with your reasoning in testing Contestia 250/4. I also think that a good approach would be for EVERYONE to use RSID so a station can shift the QSO mode according to typing preference or propagation conditions, as determined at either end of the QSO. Multipsk, DM780, and Fldigi

Hi Jaak, Great idea to start a long test of Contestia 250/4! Perhaps Contestia 250/8 can also be compared in actual practice to Contestia 250/4. Contestia 250/8 is slower (at 29 wpm), but decodes 2 dB deeper into the noise, which may be important when there is QSB (fading) and the signal is
