[aprssig] New VARA-HF Softmodem A Spectacular Improvement For HF APRS

[John Galvin]

Regarding APRS on 60M. Per part 97.


Automatic control on data and RTTY is not permitted; a control operator 
must be in a position to exercise either local or remote control over 
the transmitter. The FCC noted that “amateur operators must exercise 
care to limit the length of transmissions so as to avoid causing harmful 
interference to Federal stations.” This is a very important caveat: If a 
Federal station requires amateurs to cease using a frequency, the 
amateur station must be able to do so without delay.
