"Amateur TV" or SSTV is dead, replaced by much newer technology which,

shack" and in current use by a few "dinosaur hams.")




Okay, John, I understand completely where you are coming from. I ask
for no more.


It is interesting that "John Smith" made the same error that Len made
some time ago. Amateur TV and SSTV are not at all the same thing.
For that matter, neither are dead. ATV is quite alive and SSTV is
simply implemented differently, via the use of soundcards.
