Due to tree problems, the VA7EDG 80m dipole antenna has shifted from north-south wire direction to an east-west wire direction, so I will not be surprised if east-west connections are not at the same strength as they were. Good luck all.
Late March, I added the modes ARDOP & Vara to the frequencies my Trimode station WW4MSK polls. This was done to support the testing of those modes and to learn more about the strengths of ARDOP/Vara during this challenging time of poor propagation. March showed a few connections, then in April-May even more stations trying the new modes. The performance is tough to measure at this point due to the really bad propagation on some days and connection success rates were about the same as Winmor.
