I was thinking more how ALE (Automatic Link Establishment) works. Except without the Automatic part. After connecting to a station and exchanging your grid locations, it would then tell you the best frequency or band to use. In example: Might have a direct connection (path) on 15 meters verses two bounces on 40m. The difference being, both parties would be aware or better advised of a stronger band, instead of assuming. Would need to pull some solar weather data, I suppose. Just a suggestion to improve connectivity and reduce congestion on 20/40/80m. We get a lot of spectrum to play with, might as well use it.

I didn’t have the winlink method in mind. Was suggesting just a “best band” indicator once two stations connect based on grid locations and conditions. Whatever method gets the same results would be fantastic. varac user base is growing and I think that would cut down on frequency congestion, increase efficiency, and improve the overal VarAC experience.

Maybe. I was thinking just a line of bands and maybe color code them green yellow red. but any layout would work :)

I'll just add to the vote for FLRIG. =-D Thanks for all your work on this program. It's been a lot of fun to use.
