Goals of SUPERSATION

The purpose of the SUPERSTATION game is to increase the number of VarAC QSOs and to encourage more DX activity. A typical game will run over multiple weeks although a game can be run at any length.

SUPERSTATION is different from any other amateur radio “contest.” There is an element of a card & dice game, promoting QSOs that are more than simple exchanges, and demonstrating the DX capabilities of the mode. All amateurs around the world are invited to participate.

SUPERSTATION is integrated into VarAC via the VarAC.db file allowing SUPERSTATION to read information about contacts you've made. The game does not use beacons in any way. But we do use Broadcast. Check-out the walk-through videos above to see details how the Broadcast feature is used by SUPERSTATION.

Software Requirements

SUPERSTATION runs on a Windows 10 or 11 computer. SUPERSTATION runs as a single executable. You must have at least VarAC version 12.0.

Beta Test

We are currently beta-testing SUPERSTATION and software is only available to the testers. We plan to release the software to the public in November.
We would like a few more beta testers and if you're interested, email varacwednesday at gmail.com .
