I¡¯m on there(N4EJM-11). Since getting my setup working again this past week, I¡¯ve seen much better results. I¡¯m using a Yaesu 991A and my aluminum gutters. I¡¯ve got over 220 ft worth ?horizontally with 5 10¡¯ downspouts to help the vertical side of things. Just got gated via KB7ITU in ID.

We have been running Pinpoint?+ VARA HF APRS?for the last few days on 40m (TX & RX) in the Vancouver, Canada area. Our club station VE7NWC-4 is in the middle of a city surrounded by high rise buildings so there is quite a bit of background QRM on most bands. We are using an Elecraft K3 and a Kelemen Multiband Trap Dipole. Though VARA seems to break through very well;

We are also being gated out by stations at various distances;
