2 questions


 

Good day all,

????? I hope I am at the right place for those 2 questions:


1) is VARA HF in LSB or USB?

2) Is there on HF a Packet BBS supporting VARA?

short and sweet.

Hello Jean
?
Data is typically used on USB. Data would include VARA but is not limited to VARA. Other modes including ARDOP, FT8, WSPR, etc. would also be used on USB.

Yes. The G8BPQ Node/BBS supports VARA (both HF and FM).

Hi Lee,

???? I am aware BPQ support VARA. I am looking for some who are on HF, Call and Frequency.

VE2PKT Support VARA FM, but I am 2800milles, since there is no HF on PKT, I am looking for a

door to reach him using VARA, to much QRM on 20M for packet to reach the closest HF station..

Hi Jean,

Ahh, I see, you were looking for BBS's in operation, so Jeff's answer was a lot better than mine. As he mentioned, there are several BBS's using VARA HF that are part of the TPRFN group ( ). The frequencies are shown at that site. Besides those, I am aware of the following off the top of my head. (below are the node calls). I'm sure there are others also.

Arkansas
N9SEO-3

Indiana
N9LYA-8, WW6Q-7

Wisconsin
KB9PVH-7, W9GM-7

Oregon
W7EES-7, W7BMH-7

If you are looking for stations between Quebec and Texas (I assume you are in Texas now or will be very soon), I would send N9SEO, N9LYA, WW6Q, and K7EK (Kentucky) personal packet messages and ask them what frequencies they are listening on.

73,
Lee K5DAT

Hi again,

Below is the info from the site. I just realized the SSID is incorrect for my BBS - should be K5DAT-1.

Jean,
I am in the process of setting a link on the W6RAY-4 BBS in central California. I have it all set up, but working some minor issues still to be worked out. I plan to attempt connecting with KQ6UP, and any others. I know of no others on the west coast, except one I saw mentioned in Oregon.

Can you please send me a private email regarding our AX25 link issue?
