    When you call CQ there is no indication that you are at a POTA spot. Why not use broadcast mode? ...or use a suffix of /POTA so that callers know you are operating POTA?

      If I remember right, I did finally use the broadcast feature. Excellent point my friend. 73 and good DX!

    Thanks very much for the POTA video info. I’m wanting to operate POTA from a local area and VarAC is my choice of mode if possible. Always enjoy your videos. 73 es God Bless Jeff KU4WW

      It's nice to hear from you and it worked great. I made a number of contacts on VARA HF that day and couldn't be happier. 73 and Good DX!

    Thanks for all the VARAC vids.
    I have a question for you please.
    How do I set up the additional monitor screen on the current version of VARA HF.

      It’s nice to hear from you and that’s a great question. In File Manager I just copied the original folder and then pasted it under my C drive. Then I entered the path to it in VARAC. Did you see this: k0pir.us/varac-installation-and-configuration-with-vara-hf/
      GL and thank you again for commenting.

    14105 is a very active HF packet frequency so is this a problem between the two?

      It's nice to hear from you and thanks for commenting. Great question. The transmissions on that freq. are short and yes it can be heard sometimes, but it doesn't seem to be a problem. 73!

    I have been using VarAC for about a year and it’s an excellent data mode and will get through when other modes can’t.
    It’s very robust and works when conditions are poor. Much better than FT8.
