[@HamRadioAdventures]

Article on VarAC for anyone interested. I think I got the technical part correct, but please correct me if I'm wrong: k0pir.us/varac-like-ft8-only-better/

Nice QSO, Rich! I worked W0LEN on FT8 a little while back. This VARAC is pretty cool! I installed it this morning and have made a few QSOs already. I haven't posted them to HRDlog just yet, though. I can see this mode is much more useful than JS8CALL. Its true that all I hear on JS8CALL is usually a heartbeat message. VARAC does so much more! Yes, I am running the paid VARA version with a Xiegu G90 aroun12 - 15 watts. This is a fun mode (for me) that has helping to shape the way I will operate in the future.
Thanks for the video,
DE - AG4KN, John

It's good to hear from you John and thanks for commenting. That sounds like a fun rig you have. I need to get my QRP rig out for a test with it. Take care and 73 de K0PIR

I never could get vara hf to work, so I said forget it.

[@HamRadioAdventures]

Thanks for commenting, I really appreciate it. So in the upcoming videos I’ll address some common problems. Do you remember what happened when you tried it? Rich KØPIR

[@millzee]

Dont feel like the Lone Ranger. I spent months trying to get the stuff to workover the air. I could send stuff over the internet with it just fine but would lock up and give me errors when connected to radio. That was over a year ago with new laptop and ft991a. someday ill clean off the dust and try and start over. so much has evolved since then.

[@straightkey]

@fjhoosier That was the exact same situation for me as well. I could send my friend email over the internet, and it worked fine. I got so frustrated with it I don't see myself trying it again.
