There's an old saying that goes something like "once they've seen the lights of the city it's hard to keep the boys on the farm".
That's kind of what has happened to me since I started experimenting with Winlink and it's engine VARA.
Simply put, VARA's speed and robustness are magnitudes above packet radio and it's digital cousins when it comes to moving the data.
The only downside that I've noticed is like our new radios, there's no playing under the hood. Also probably why they work consistently ;)
VARA's technology is derived from methods the military has used for decades. Jose EA5HVK is the author and owner of the copy write.

With the addition of a local Winlink gateway station here in Willmar, access should be easy to do from the radio side and the Internet to send and receive email.
The hardware is straightforward - a 2m transceiver, a USB soundcard w/PTT and a Windows 10 or 11 computer.
A lot of us use the Digirig interface?
A complete Digirig with cables will run $80-100 and IMHO worth every penny.

While there more work and testing to be done, I'm confident this is going to become a reality.? 73? N0QBH
