Basic Introduction
I am relatively new at using APRS (mostly Aprsdroid for public service tracking) but have experience using VARA on HF for Winlink and the DTN. Is there a basic introduction to APRS with VARA on HF

Re: 40M VARA APRS Rocks! (7.083.50 USB)
You guys need a few folks to switch over to get a real test. Out here we had 4 full time IGates on 30, with a couple other temporary stations in the PNW region. So with that I was able to do some good

I have fully migrated my 60-meters APRS receive-igate-mapping webserver to 40 meters for the indefinite future.?? As you can see on the live UI-webserver live map, I am seeing VERY few stations on

Re: 30 Meter VARA APRS - Test Run Today!
As predicted. It relies too much on what we can't rely on at these high frequencies. 40m once again looked solid. The only advantage I see is during the day where skip *might* help. But with how weak

Re: 30 Meter VARA APRS - Test Run Today!
We are closer together than you're 30m network. Our PNW stations on 40m only help in the day. Where it's our distant stations during the night that keep us going. So at night the main winners are

I'm really curious to see if this reflects the difference between 30 and 40 meter propagation, or does it reflect the highly-organized relatively-dense 40-meter receive network in the Pacific
