I am looking for people who would be interested in doing scheduled QSOs using VarAC on different bands to test propagation and power levels and their effects on VarAC QSOs. I would like to use EchoLink, Peanut, or DMR in order to coordinate which frequency to QSY to as well as what features to test. I am retired so I am free during the day, but if people require early morning or night that's fine with me too. I am in Toronto Ontario, so that gives you an idea of the path to my station from your station. I want to document and later share the results so that people can have an idea of what QSO potentials can be found outside of 20 and 40 meters. 73 de VE3FMQ

Version 5.3.1 was working well and I was able to see beacons, CQs, and have QSOs. When I changed to 6.0.8 I no longer saw any activity in the Last Heard Beacon and Last Heard CQ dialog boxes despite being able to hear VarAC signals as before. Audio input is going through VARA HF 4.6.3 at 23 dbfs, though I am not seeing any activity on the waterfall as before. Any idea as to what is happening? I am using Windows 10 and the VarAC software is still able to transmit through my FT-897a. I am using Omni-Rig to control the radio.
