Larry,

If the BPL raises the noise level enough, it will be the folks running
PSK-31 who will get through with signals below the noise level. No
offense,
CW does do a remarkable job, but some of the digital modes will transmit
faster through higher noise levels than CW will (and I did turn in a
perfect
paper in 1967 at 40 words per minute).

Actually, when BPL raises the noise level, it will be us pro-coders who
will be the ones NOT "vanishing" -- holier-than-thou status
notwithstanding.

Im not so sure about that. Ive been on PSK31 since late 98 and whenever a
actual carrier, i.e. digital or cw, or whatever gets close on
frequency.....well to put it mildly things go to crap in a handbasket.

With BPL as I understand it you will have multiple TONES being sent down the
lines and thus into your receivers. These tones will be received by the
PSK31 program and attempted to be decoded.

NO COMPUTER can decode as well as a human ear/brain combination. In CW
communications it takes two things to communicate, an operator on both
ends.
