Ok this is pretty cool, I was thinking again this morning why do we all have to pay so much to use winlink, first to use/verify who we are. Then another 🤑$75 for VARA that almost every EMCOM station uses for a modem. This is ridiculous in our modern era. I will have to check this out.

I used to use ARDOP on the Pi, but it was hard work. Winlink with Vara can reach 2300 bpm with the free version.

VARA is still a challenge here with my Mint system. I have it workable on a Pi. Now Winlink, I'm using Pat for WL2K though minus VARA on HF that's rough though it's FB on Packet. Still working on this too dl2man.de/ARDOP/

No. Well, if you use the full version of VARA, yes. But you can use the free evaluation version for ever, I have. You get a nag screen that you can ignore.
In fact, using Winlink Express, it runs at full speed, not throttled at all.
In VarAC it limits b/w to 500 bps while full speed is 2300.

Wed local time. Google them, there are YT videos.
Winlink has a pre-filled form that you put in your QTH, either manually or connected GPS.
VarAC also has a procedure to create a canned message to send.
Winlink via VK3DPW or VK3MIT on 40m usually work.
VarAC on 20m sometimes hard, ZL2TNB.

The system ran well overnight. When I tried to activate Winlink this morning for Wednesday check-in I couldn’t get it to key the radio. I have to close out WSJT-X to run WL, so I suspect there was something still glitched in WSJT-X.

I think most hams don’t appreciate the power of APRS messaging, and that’s too bad. This capability, Winlink email, remote control, and a bunch of others are accessible with a little HT (and a TNC if not built-in). Fantastic.
