    Digital Mode ?

    in VarAC discussion forum

    This may be obvious to many but not to me. When it comes time to log a VARAC contact, what mode should be used for logging purposes? I.E. PSK, FT?, RTTY, etc.


    Thanks in advance.

    That is up to you. VARA would be ideal and many of us log it as VARA. But as we have discussed here a lot is the ADIF committee will not certify VARA as a mode as they claim VARA is QRM. So because of this LoTW will not accept it. But QRZ.com does and Log4OM and other loggers do also.

    Thanks for the information. I use LOTW for every contact and of course VARA as you say, is not an accepted mode. I just started using the mode yesterday and am learning as I go. I will select a mode to upload the QSO's. At some later point, I will be able to filter for the mode I select and do a mass change if necessary. I plan on using some obscure LOTW acceptable mode that I am totally sure I will never really use. Thanks again for the response.

    Well, make you voice known. Contact the LoTW folks and put pressure on them, contact the ADIF folk and let them know, https://www.adif.org/

    I have made exactly 4 qso's. I will get some experience under my belt before I go off half-cocked bitching about something I really have no experience with. I need some 'stick-time' to better evaluate all the ramifications. Thanks for your input Gary.

    No, we need some noise to be made. This is a very active topic with the ADIF committee.
