For some perverse reason, my replies to
N2PEZ's question on this topic are not going through the
groups.io remailer properly.? His original post gets forwarded
but not my reply. ?
His original post was:
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 that I could read to get started?

I have just updated and re-organized? the gateway page on my
web site devoted to APRS topics.??? This may serve as a partial
introduction to APRS, including
APRS-over-VARA.????
There had previously been numerous references to APRS using
MFSK and APRS-over-FLdigi on these pages.? These were topics
related to earlier experiments with non-packet transmission
modes for HF APRS.???
I have removed all the references (I think!) to APRS-over-MFSK,
and have replaced them with links to APRS-over-VARA (a
vastly superior data mode for HF) instead.? The revised web page
on my site is:
