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.

Denier Measurement. The denier is obtained by weighing 9,000 meters of yarn or thread, expressing the result in grams. Thus the denier is a measure of linear density expressed in terms of grams per 9000 meters.Since a yarn with a higher denier has more mass per unit length than a yarn with a lower denier, it is thicker and tougher, provided that both yarns are made of the same kind of material.he fiber number multiplied by the number of fibers in a cross-section of the yarn equals the denier value of the yarn. Synthetic materials, such as polyester, may have fibers with fiber numbers less than one. The linear density of such fibers are measured in smaller units called microdeniers.
