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.
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.

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/

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.
Only took 4 years -) , oddly only vara is now singularly listed as dynamic, where there are other modes , also auto configure , like pactor
Q are V-Mode users now able to log the used mode against qso's and award entry ?
I note , qrz.com log book, now lists the mode options , which may be selected , thought the .... do push the text out of the right side of the window .
Well, Vara is listed as Mode Dynamic but with all variants as Submodes like they did with psk. I think this is ok so. This is done with various modes in this way.
I have no docs I can send or hard proof
was discussed at my dx club
much why is psk31,hell,and other digi mods
dont have it own categories
73 murf
my self. I like how my logging program
uses vara as a mode when logged.
@n7uvh Can you provide more info on this please?
I believe LOTW.QRZ going to put the digi modes and new stuff coming up.. into the Digital category .
No, we need some noise to be made. This is a very active topic with the ADIF committee.
