[Harc] Fwd: [VARA-MODEM] APRS-over-VARA crosses the Atlantic on 30 meters!

[Friday Ululani]

It's quite impressive, how powerful VARA HF can be - marrying the 
propogation of HF with the digital error correction features of VARA.

Chris Moulding G4HYG (of Cross-Country Wireless and APRS Messenger fame) 
and I have been experimenting with APRS-over-VARA on 30 meters for some 
time now.

This morning (28 Nov 2024 -Thanksgiving Day in the US), I awoke to this 
mapping display on one of my APRS computer displays.    This was 
received on my Kenwood TS-690 and a G5RV-type dipole sloping toward the 
UK and Europe. Radio is connected to an Acer  "netbook" 11.8" 
mini-laptop running UIview.  The Space Station has nothing to do with 
the contact - it's just tracked on the same display in real time, and 
happened to "photo-bomb" the screen cap.

This was screen-capped at 10:00 AM US Eastern Time (1500 UTC 28 
November).  Note that the transmission was actually heard about an hour 
and a half earlier.
