When browsing PSKreporter I see the majority of VarAC users are on 20m during the day, and 40m at night. I would love to see more users on 80m, 30m, 17m, etc. I was thinking it might be fun to have some kind of "Special Event" or "QSO Party" to encourage activity on the other under-utilized bands. Similar to the JS8call QSO Party weekends, we could have a once a month/week event over a weekend, or even for an entire week where, for example, we all focus on making contacts on 30m, and maybe have a "theme" where perhaps you exchange a small avatar image using the file transfer feature, or try to make a contact on every band from 80m-6m? Just an idea! Would love to hear other ideas from the group 🙂

I would really like to see digital on 80 meters. Pretty much the only bands that have non-FT8-style activity are 20m and 40m, even late at night. Other bands would be interesting too, i can never get anyone above 20m.

There are many of us that have been on 10M taking advantage of the openings, and many of us on 17 and 15M. And we have had a couple of QSO parties before for VarAC when activity was low, but more should be coming.
