Re: 30-meters vs 40-meters APRS-over-VARA Shootout Coming
You guys are quite funny honestly. This is ham radio, not some "science" experiment based on your feelings. Take or leave it. We're out here having fun either way with our big group.

Re: 30-meters vs 40-meters APRS-over-VARA Shootout Coming

I gotta say, today is the first time in a long time I've had 30m working! NVIS is working a little bit too with it. Even within a short distance! There's a lot of fluctuation though. As much as 14db

Re: 30-meters vs 40-meters APRS-over-VARA Shootout Coming
It's not exclusively MY results. It's the results of around 30 people in 2 months time when we first started VARA APRS, AND the tests of 40M within over a years time.
Which also includes random tests

Re: 30-meters vs 40-meters APRS-over-VARA Shootout Coming
I'm not a hot shot scientist, but I've authored peer-reviewed science and
read and taught plenty of it for 40+ years.

Mike, when you get familiarized with the terminology and the acronyms, it
is quite straightforward. And as the modem console is mostly just an
indicator of what's happening, you do not need to have it

Here's 1200 miles of track. I'd call this data, not bias. I have plenty more of this where that came from.

Re: 30-meters vs 40-meters APRS-over-VARA Shootout Coming
Hi Steve, there's no bias per say. It's all based on over a year of testing and experimenting. We started testing around October of 2023 on every band day and night. By December of 2023 we had a fully
