G4HYG and I have been testing the new APRS-over-VARA channel of *10.148.200 MHz USB* for several weeks now.? Normally, I have been hearing him from northern Scotland, here in central Michigan, USA, when the "grey line" (i.e. terminator line between day and night) is over the Atlantic.
Once the sun rises here in US Eastern time (i.e. a full daylight path across the Atlantic), he fades out - usually around 7:30 - 8:00 US Eastern (1230-1300 UTC).? Today I have been copying him over a full daylight path at 10:30 US Eastern (1530 UTC). ? I normally hear the other station, WB8SKP, nearly 24/7.
Note also that I have decided to use the diamond-overlaid-with-a letter-"V"?? symbol to denote a VARA igate.
