That is not only a ridiculous statement, it is preposterous and shows
a total lack of knowledge of the state of data compaction.

However, it proves you are not aware of what is technically possible
and therefore are in a poor position to advise or inform others and,
the sorry state of amateurs technical savvy in general!

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

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!!!

Wake up, it is already 2005!

If you want to transmit images on HF at this time only fax and SSTV
have a small enough band width to be practical.

What is more important:

1. Having a license that allows HF access.


2. Not having to learn Morse code.

IOW, is standing on principle, and refusing to learn Morse code
a better
thing than learning it to get the priveliges?

Hi Mike:

I think you know I don't "hate" Morse Code. I, personally, never
really
wished to try it out; just like I have never really tried SCTV,
anything
digital (except for APRS--if that can be considered digital),
ATV, etc. I
think you get my point. Since I have ever first perused this
newsgroup,
except for a few real jerks, I'd believe that most of "us" who
just don't
wander into other means of communication--including Morse
Code--are pretty
much the same as I am. I absolutely support those who use the
mode (as I do
anyone who uses and/or invents any other modes), am willing to
honor the
tradition of Morse Code (as I honor the tradition of other
steadfast things
in amateur radio), and hold no animosity for anyone--OTHER than
the "idiots"
on both sides of the floor (as it would be stated in political
terms ).

For me, it was never a matter of wanting HF privileges that much,
and I
learned the 5wpm needed to get the privileges I was happy with.
So, could
you do me a favor? Please rethink your phrase "Morse Code
Haters." I don't
think most of us feel that strongly about it.

I'm sorry.....knowing full well she has me deep sixed, I just
have to comment.....

What the heck is SCTV? Is that a TV show? Or maybe she means
Slow Scan TV?? SSTV.......Hmmmmm.

Then...."APRS if that can be considered digital".

Amazing.....and she has a license?

Amazing.
