FSK may be easier to do technically, but what's the point if you can't make
any contacts?
I think it needs to do PSK. There isn't enough MFSK activity. And the trouble
with RTTY is, weak QRP signals aren't as copyable as MFSK and PSK signals,
and just to compound it, many of those who operate RTTY use high power so you
can hear them but they can't hear you, and your little signal will get
swamped by their big ones.
Only PSK has the high enough activity levels to guarantee that, if the band's
open, there will be some activity, and you have a good chance of actually
working the people you hear.
I think that consideration must be given to what qrp digital mode will work best
in voew of the ARRL's proposel bandwidth related bandplan proposal.
