I have been monitoring/igating 40-meters APRS-over-VARA for about two weeks now. ?? [The WA8LMF 40-meters APRS-over-VARA igate/mapping webserver is now monitoring 7.083.5 USB full-time 24/7/365 .] Most of the 40M activity has been long-haul at night from the west coast.? In the daytime, when the useful range on 40 is typically 500 miles (800 km) or so, I have seen few if any stations in the mid-west (my QTH is in central Michigan).? This is now slowly changing.... Today I am copying a short-haul NVIS station on 40 for the first time.??? N5AMD-1 near Battle Creek, MI is only about 50 miles (80 km) from me This screencap is from my 40M APRS-over-VARA igate, taken just now at 12:36 EST (1736 UTC).?
