The TRX that has been used for 30 m operation must be repaired - the RX is dead. The 40 m TRX is now used to service both 40 m and 30 m bands (scanning). So, if HB9AK is not answering on one of those bands, it might be busy on the other one. Try again later!

In addtition to the existing 10 m access on 28'311 kHz (dial) that offers PACTOR, VARA, ARDOP, WINMOR and Robust Packet, gateway HB9AK-1 now also offers access in the FM part of the 10 m band. Comparing the transmission of a 115 kB test message across a distance of 42 km from HB9AK-1 gave the following results (VARA FM / VARA):
Transmission time: 1'37'' / 3'43''
Throughput: 71'000 / 30'900 Bytes/min
VARA FM performed more than twice as well as VARA for HF/SSB.
