  2:53 MFSK32 (120 wpm)*          no errors, not a problem
12:18 MFSK64 (250 wpm)*          no errors, not a problem
18:05 8PSK125F (317 wpm)         slower than MFSK128 and yet significant 
problems, unusable for intercontinental shortwave
20:55 MFSK128 (480 wpm)*         no errors, not a problem,    very 
robust faster mode
25:17 8PSK250F (635 wpm)         error rate high, mode not worth discussing
