There is FEC built into QPSK31 and PSK63F.PSK63F uses FEC and is roughly as fast as BPSK31. PSK signal is distorted by multipath delay, selective fading, doppler shift and flutter. Sending it slower makes everything better, only succeptibility to rapid doppler shifts and polar flutter will be worse. The reason is that phase shifts introduced by phase modulation will be comparable to phase shifts introduced by ionosphere flutter. It may help to switch to higher baud rates in that case to make modulation phase differences bigger. 73, Vojtech OK1IAK Need a Digital mode QSO?
