That there is no [79,3,71] code follows from Lemma 5.4 of Simeon Ball, Multiple blocking sets and arcs in finite planes, J. London Math. Soc., 54 (1996) 581--593.

The [78,3,70] code found by Aaron Gulliver is generated by the matrix

01611811415200112911701101313(10)12515712411913414217501213516(10)11601811(10)01(10)12(10)158 601811411215100912711101301(10)13512715412911413214517201513(10)16611801(10)11(10)01(10)12815 1601811415210102911711101303(10)12515712411913414217511203516(10)11611801(10)11(10)02(10)1581
