Mike:

Wake up, SSTV was big news in the 1960's, it is now 45 years later and
they have invented the computer!

Any of the web technology of data encryption/compaction/jpeg/mpeg etc
can be easily adapted to amateur radio though the sound card (if you
have a pci sw receiver card you can do it through other ports and much
more efficiently), think about it.

Why most amateurs are not experimenting with it only emphasizes their
age and inability or unwillingness to stay current with technology.
And, the fact that the sharpest technical people are NOT entering
amateur radio these days...

Now I ask you, "What boob would use SSTV?"

Me.

A webcam on a computer, compressing and digitizing the video and
then converting to an audio signal and finally delivering it to a
transceiver, to be picked up and decoded at the other end and fed
to a soundcard/computer monitor produces a MUCH clearer sharper and
more fps... SSTV is for dinosaurs!!!

Sometimes you write unusual things.
