VarAC is a digital mode that uses the VARA HF virtual Terminal Node Controller (TNC). Because of this team-up, we finally have a ragchew mode that uses the same advanced techniques for communications that ensure your QSOs are sent and received, even with very weak signals, with 100 percent fidelity.
Here are the web-sites used to download the free software for this mode:
