Andy,
I don't think Contestia will replace RTTY. To get
the rate up you have to go to a higher bandwidth. 8 tone at 250 Hz is about as
close as you can get to RTTY speed without going to a higher bandwidth and that
will not be good for contesting. Just my thoughts.

Subject: [digitalradio] Contestia "Sprint
" December 6/7 !
Pawel's description of Contestia says " I hope
this mode can be a
replacement for RTTY in contests" .
OK, so let's
test it under contest conditions. How about a mini -
sprint or
Contestia Two-Legged Rush. I propose that we try a 30
minutes sprint
using Contestia on UTC December 6, at 0100 UTC and
again at
1300 UTC on December 7th. Any bands, except WARC bands.
Just a total time of 1 hour, in two 30 minute segments,
that will
provide differing propagation conditions. Since we want to
simulate
contest conditions, does anyone want to propose a simple scoring
system? Scores/logs published here.
