I took a drive southwest down hwy #23 today to test Winlink email sent via VARA FM from my car on 145.070 today.
?
Stop number one was outside of Raymond at Bonnema Excavating.? Good signals.? (15.2 miles)
?
Next was the truck stop south of Clara City at the intersection of hwys 23 and 7.? It took three tries due to local interference.? (22.3 miles)
Else signals were strong. The indicators for VARA are handy.
?
Next was the old high school in Maynard. I still had good signals.? (27.4 miles)
?
Last was the Heritage Hill threshing grounds east of Montevideo.? I still had good copy.? (33.2 miles)
