[aprssig] Another Geomagnetic Disturbance Showing the Superiority of VARA over AX.25

[Stephen H Smith]

[14:30 Eastern Time / 1930 UTC  5 January 2025

We've just had yet another solar eruption that disrupted HF propagation.   Once 
again, VARA vastly outperformed classic AX.25 packet.   Compare the real-time 
mapping displays show the two modes as received at WA8LMF's QTH in central 
Michigan.
