John,
The NVIS path simulation results show that the PSK-R mode
did not have any advantage over BPSK. In fact, the data
indicates that it may be less robust for NVIS comms. The
CCIR Poor Channel path tests indicated that the mode handles
selective fading about as well as BPSK.
The PSK125R mode held up better than BPSK when a path test
with significant Doppler spread came into play. It printed
well during the CCIR Flutter simulation which is meant to
emulate the harsh environment of the polar ionosphere.
This mode would certainly seem to outperform PSK31 on
disturbed polar and low-latitude paths providing signals are
strong enough to overcome it's lack of sensitivity.
Please have a look at the data John and let us know how the
simulations compare to your NVIS results.

Tony,
Would it be possible to get the same test for the PSK
"Robust" modes as in the alpha version of Fldigi?
http://www.w1hkj.com/alpha/fldigi-flarq/
I would really like to have an idea of what the simulator
says since we found in practice reasonable NVIS performance
(to our surprise).
They are basically a BPSK mode with FEC (like PSK63F), but
with an interleaver added for time diversity.
It would be great to see how the 3 speeds fair (PSK125R,
250R and 500R) since the interleaver size changes with the
speed.
Also, regarding Q15X25, if you can run Linux this may be
another option:
