Hello all, Happy Labor Day!
I'm sitting on 14.105 and trying to download the bulletins on SOLBBS and there's a "warbling" noise that seems to be right on frequency.
I've got a strong connection between me and N0HI but it's really making throughput tough.?? What is it?
My guess is it's VARA but I've never used that mode so can't tell for sure.
Is anyone else experiencing it?
I've been on the frequency now for about a week really enjoying my HF packet but this is pretty much shutting me down.??
I hope it isn't anything permanent.

Yes, 14.105 is the primary 20m calling frequency for VarAC You'll be fighting a whole lot of Vara users there. If you QSY up or down 250hz to 750hz, you'll have better luck.

Thanks Wayne.....
I can QSY but can't help but feel that my connections will be
limited if not impossible unless everyone moves....
Too bad that VARA decided to sit right here.....

I understand, but it's a bit like parking on one of the FT8 frequencies.. just too popular for too many operators to use it for anything else.

I suppose.? I spin the HF dial however and find so many quiet
places...it's like when I'm in the SSB portion of the band and
it's dead quiet except that one frequency where two people are
calling CQ on top of each other.?? Naturally I realize that they
probably can't even hear each other but I do hear that happen
quite often.
Anyway, it's all good.?? I may move off of 20 meters if this is
going to be the norm and try 40.??
Thanks for your insight.? I hope you and yours are having a nice

Just a heads up. VarAC also utilizes 7.105 as well as 3.590, 10.13, 18.105, 21.105, 24.905, and 28.105. Now, with all that said, I rarely? hear any Vara traffic (at least via VarAC) on anything other than the 20m and 40m "channels".? And also, packet and Vara don't really conflict much. I've seen Olivia being used right on top of a Vara QSO and it didn't seem to have any issues at all.? You might try it sometime and see how it goes. You know.. it's easier to say 'oops, sorry' than 'may I?'?

VarAC uses 14105 as a calling frequency, yes, but it¡¯s USB so there isn¡¯t usually interference with packet on LSB. This could be a misunderstanding or operator error by a new VarAC user.? Scott

Hi all. Varac uses 14105 USB as a calling Freq, beacons etc. The problem is with the QSO channels, those are +- and I am pretty sure the lower ones hit the Net105 QRG. When operating varac, not very often though, I always use the upper channels for QSYing.
And, again, you have got the Winlink frequencies. Worth checking those on the respective website. There might be some new stns emerging in your area etc.

If I am not mistaken (I do not use it) VARAC is typically rather narrow at 500Hz so even with tight narrow filters a nearby VARAC will certainly result in QRM.
I think it worth noting though that most but certainly not all Winlink use of VARA on HF can with decent signal paths be quite wide at nearly 3k Hz and if you check as Julian suggested you will likely find a bunch jammed around both the NET105 and the NET40 freqs... and at upwards of 3k Hz wide it can be nearly impossible to avoid the Winlink QRM when several are active simultaneously on either side of the ax25 freqs.

I can QSY but can't help but feel that my connections will be limited if not impossible unless everyone moves.... Too bad that VARA decided to sit right here.... ?

If you QSY up or down 250hz to 750hz, you'll have better luck. On Monday, September 4, 2023 at 09:45:08 AM CDT, Jim <jim@...> wrote: Hello all, Happy Labor Day!
I'm sitting on 14.105 and trying to download the bulletins on SOLBBS and there's a "warbling" noise that seems to be right on frequency.
I've got a strong connection between me and N0HI but it's really making throughput tough.?? What is it?
My guess is it's VARA but I've never used that mode so can't tell for sure.
Is anyone else experiencing it?
I've been on the frequency now for about a week really enjoying my HF packet but this is pretty much shutting me down.??
I hope it isn't anything permanent.
