I'm the Radio Manager for the Salvation Army Emergency Disaster Service British Columbia Canada. Presently we use Pactor SCS-PTC to past messages when required

Personally the best time is from 5-8 pm utc time. There are no local nets, Church is over etc

By the time I get to the VarAC the grayline is just here. West coast of Canada 20 m is just starting to open. It's15:41 UTC time.

Jim W8NSI I have mobility issues and leave my Mag Loop tuned to 14.105. My loop is pointed 150 degress according to my cell phone compass. I've picked up stations as far south as Argentina, I have not chatted other than a pin or vmail. My time on radio is run by my XYL and Mother in law medical appointments and HF solar screw up. 73 Don VA7DGP/ VA7QU

I'm from the mainland (Vancouver area). I run an indoor Alpha Mag loop. I've called Beacon and then call CQ. I have not really connected. I have tried connected to those that CQ but not luck. I also run mobile va7dgp/p and have the same luck. Non

I wish there was away to get it to work with Grid Tracker. I like how FT 8 shows the connect station recieve > Transmit and then have the ability to automatically log it in QRZ and eQsl etc.

I click on a station yesterday to attempt to chat. First time. I did not see the page/menu to click on till I was shutting down. Is there away to get the popup show on top of all the stuff I have open. I was trying to figure how to QSY.

I'm using Anydesk and or Teamviewer to remote into my Desktop/Laptop to Varac. I really hope the Gurus find away for Linux Noob. 73

I tried loading the KM4ACK Wine Varac youtube video and I couldn't get it to work. I'm not a linux expert and rely on Hams like Jason and Kelly. I ended up reloading Linux Mint. I still have my Windows laptop until the Linux Guru's or Varac is ported to Linux. 73 Don va7qu/va7dgp

I'll be at Hedley, BC with 4 other hams.

Way back in the past. A ham from Texas Suggested that they use a scanner program (IFran) because the message being sent had to have the signature on the Document. I also sent high def pictures via Pactor 3 when I had antenna on the roof. We doing it via P2P. I made the mistake of sending it via Winlink Gateway. It took for ever to get the message. My concern is that some of the info would be private as one is operating in a call out for an EOC. Sending a picture of Moose or big elk (Or large Fish) Bragging rights. I see nothing wrong in showing it. In D Star they Reflector 55 and hams are sending really neat pictures. I have some really neat SSTV that I got from our local SSTV net on 145.600 here in the Vancouver area. I just got my new IC 705 so getting on the air is what I'm looking for. 73 Don VA7DGP/VA7QU

Playing catch up on my 2 Linux Laptop. I've used Linux 73. They are loading now. If I download Varac. I don't see home/pi So far I see home/linux73. I'm NO linux expert. I've always replied on Jason KM4ACK scripts
