When browsing PSKreporter I see the majority of VarAC users are on 20m during the day, and 40m at night. I would love to see more users on 80m, 30m, 17m, etc. I was thinking it might be fun to have some kind of "Special Event" or "QSO Party" to encourage activity on the other under-utilized bands. Similar to the JS8call QSO Party weekends, we could have a once a month/week event over a weekend, or even for an entire week where, for example, we all focus on making contacts on 30m, and maybe have a "theme" where perhaps you exchange a small avatar image using the file transfer feature, or try to make a contact on every band from 80m-6m? Just an idea! Would love to hear other ideas from the group 🙂

I would really like to see digital on 80 meters. Pretty much the only bands that have non-FT8-style activity are 20m and 40m, even late at night. Other bands would be interesting too, i can never get anyone above 20m.
