Great idea.

One way to increase exposure to the less popular digital modes would
be to setup a web site where users about to call CQ in a particular
mode could post their frequency. So when I want to give Contestia a
try, I could search this site for active Contestia ops and know where
to QSY and point my antenna.
The DX Cluster network could be used for this purpose, but some users
dislike self-spotting.

Hello all,
Just to say that aside to Olivia, you have a mode which name is
Contestia,
which is twice quicker than Olivia and almost as sensitive. It is
built on
the same principle as Olivia but with different parameters and a
reduced set
of characters.
It is present at least on Mixw and Multipsk
