VARA-FMSK16-OFDM Shootout for 60 Meters APRS This Saturday
After the dramatic results of the 300 baud
AX.25 vs VARA test in early January, I am now ready to go with a
3-way comparison test of the new VARA modem -vs- MFSK-16
generated by FLdigi -vs- OFDM generated by FLdigi.
This 3-way shootout will happen enroute from
the Lansing, Michigan area to Traverse City, Mi for the annual
Cherryland ARC Swap-N-Shop. I will be departing about 3AM EST
Saturday 11 Feb to arrive about 7:00 AM. After the hamfest,
the return trip will begin around 1-2 PM, depending on what kind
of gathering may develop after the hamfest.
The tests will be on 60 Meters "Channel 5" at
5.403.5 USB.
