VarAC V12.0.0, VARA-FM, Windows 10, after every few beacons I get this:
<SENDING ADVANCED BEACON ON 2m - 146.475.000> DE N4UZZ
NO LUCK. Maybe next time ...
How can I have no luck beaconing? What does this mean?

I experience this as well. Happened just now - in v12.0.0.
It somehow hears my own beacon - but only sometimes.
I did check, and there is only one VarAC instance on the band.
