MP3 is a "lossy" format, designed only to make something that "sounds like" the original signal did to the human ear. It is not intended for digitally modulated signals that are to be decoded by a modem! Although the BPSK1000 format has actually been decoded from an MP3-compressed copy, this came as quite a surprise to me - it's certainly not something to rely on! A *lossless* compression scheme like FLAC, Shorten or Apple Lossless would be fine, if you have one. But if you're not sure, just keep the original .wav files.
