Excerpts from the www.oliviamode.com/Contestia.htm site: Contestia is a digital mode directly derived from Olivia that is not quite as robust - but more of a compromise between speed and performance. It was developed by Nick Fedoseev, UT2UZ, in 2005. It sounds almost identical to Olivia, can be configured in as many ways, but has essentially twice the speed.
Denier is a unit of measurement that is used to determine the fiber thickness of individual threads or filaments used in the creation of textiles and fabrics.Fabrics with a high denier count tend to be thick, sturdy, and durable.enier is a unit of measurement that is used to determine the fiber thickness of individual threads or filaments used in the creation of textiles and fabrics.

A closely related parameter is the reflection coefficient. This term not only records the magnitude of the reflected wave but also its angle. Because the reflection coefficient measures magnitude of reflection and its angle it is VECTOR measurement. VSWR only measures magnitude and is therefore a SCALAR measurement. The VSWR can be calculated if the Reflection coefficient is known, see below. The table also shows Return loss and Mismatch loss. Return loss (RL) is a measure of how much power is reflected from a load or termination.
