Dave:

I find it quite obvious there is no real amateur tv, what you have is
what has been stolen from others... let's just make sure in the end
the rightful experimenters and developers get credit...

.... webcams have just been discovered by hams! EXTRA! EXTRA! Hams
discover old technology, get your copy here! ROFLOL

live video feeds on vhf have been in use by the police cars in my city
for over two years now... and those guys are always behind everyone
else!

wireless wans have been sending video from webcams between points for
longer... get real guys... like rip van winkle you are just waking up
to the future... ROFLOL

.... hey, what is amateur radio good for anyway, old men to pass gas
and rant at each other... ain't it about time you start earning your
keep?

"Amateur TV" or SSTV is dead, replaced by much newer technology
which, it seems, most hams are ignorant of and have not
implemented yet (you can still see SSTV in museums run by private
hams--i.e, their "radio 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.
