Re: APRS-over-VARA crosses the Atlantic on 30 meters!


 

Hi Steve
Congratulations on all the work you’re doing. I do follow you closely and
find your work most interesting. I want to ask if you know anything about
robust packet?




Hello
George Kirn had contact with this data.

have been experimenting with APRS-over-VARA on 30 meters for some time now.

This morning (28 Nov 2024 -Thanksgiving Day in the US), I awoke to this
mapping
display on one of my APRS computer displays. This was received on my
Kenwood
TS-690 and a G5RV-type dipole sloping toward the UK and Europe. Radio is
connected to an Acer "netbook" 11.8" mini-laptop running UIview. The
Space
Station has nothing to do with the contact - it's just tracked on the same
display in real time, and happened to "photo-bomb" the screen cap.

This was screen-capped at 10:00 AM US Eastern Time (1500 UTC 28
November).
Note that the transmission was actually heard about an hour and a half
earlier.
