Hi Graham,

It  would be nice to  start , with the  opening  statement  'all  things being  equal'  but  as 'we' all  know   that  not  quite the  case , one of the  problems being ,  not  all  stations  can send all  the  modes and then not  all  can  translate  from  audio .. so  even if  say WSPR  or Ros  MF or  EME  where  to  be  more  efficient , not  all can join in .
Yes, but what would you guess is the mode where most LF OPs can join in? CW or QRSS/DFCW/HELL, i.e. a scrolling spectrogram running in ARGO, SpecLab, Spectran... or WSPR? I would guess it's the spectrogram! :-)

 
From a  communicating efficiency  point  of  view,   MFSK  will  offer  a  higher  efficiency  compared to   single  tone, but , as can be  observed  , LF operations tend  to  take  place in extended  time scale  so  gain from time integration   has tended  to  be the path  taken  ..  

Yes, that's it.
A simple eample: If WSPR "is 2 dB better than" QRSS-3 there would have been NOTHING AT ALL visible of my beacon signal during the last night on the grabbers of RN3AUS and 4X1RF and YO/4X1RF. But in QRSS-60 there was a clear trace, detectable without any doubts. That's the simple reason why this path has been taken.
