VARA HF Incredible Speed

I went ahead and registered VARA HF and it is much faster than the free version and ARDOP. I have a video below showing a demo of it checking e-mail. I did an article previously which explains it a little bit better and also an article and videos on ARDOP. Is it worth the cost? If I had to use it every day, definitely.

(Coming soon I’ll have photos and description of my campers solar kit installation. See below.)

COMING SOON

I will have an article and pictures of my camper and solar installation. More testing of the ICOM 7300 with VARA HF from there. Will the HiQ mobile antenna work good on the camper? We’ll find out.

Thank You

I hope all is well where you are and you are safe with your family. This too shall pass!

Rich –
We have recently organized a group of hams to learn/practice/utilize P2P Winlink for ‘grid-down’ messaging, and have standardized on VARA. The group has grown to over 70 members in about two months, and we are becoming active in various SETS. Our experience and methodical testing indicates that the registered version of VARA is about 65 times faster than ARDOP. It’s like magically changing Bytes/minute into Bytes/second.
Keep up the good work!
