I am becoming persuaded that Patrick's Reed Solomon mode ID code is a real advance for digital operating. I think it is bringing new users to modes other than PSK31.
For years I have enjoyed the robust nature of MFSK16 for extended QSOs where propagation may be changing. The last few days operating MFSK16 I have repeatedly had folk answer my CQ for whom I am their first MFSK16 QSO. I think a lot of it may be because of the use of this mode ID feature in several of the software packages. I wish Nick and Denis would put it in the MixW package (as well as including Nick's excellent Contestia in their regular download package). Wes, WZ7i www.wz7i.com
