I’m on that site but it doesn’t show HF
thank you
I have HF and VHF capabilities in mobile operations. Haven’t used Vara yet.
Robby,
The most accurate way to get what you want might be to use these webpages on the Winlink.org website to gather data on the HF stations. You could send the sysops an email asking them if they are up 24/7.
I have three HF stations – one at a remote location to help with interference. Normally I only run two at a time except for high traffic times. I have robust power at the home station and endeavor to keep them up 24/7 except for storms or infrequent travel.
The website referenced for the Texas RMS Status page is a good place to look for FM Winlink status – all the cool kids have their stations listed…

Wait, when selecting “channel” or “RMS” station to send a Winlink Vara HF from the drop down menu, isn’t that a complete list of RMS stations at the current time?
Robby, and FYI to Tom,
This is too easy, at least for 2m and 70cm… Tom N5TW has a website that collects all of this info and it is updated every few minutes AUTOMATICALLY (Automatic as if by Magic)…
Mouse over the M and R in those columns to get the description of what the letters mean…

Whatever you do, don’t fall victim to “paralysis by analysis.” Go ahead and
buy/build one and start tinkering with it. This is a learn-by-doing hobby.
