I will say it one more time.........there are more hams trying for DXCC on 1.2GHZ than operate SSTV George, W6GF

I let MixW run on 14230 all one weekend and then went back and looked at some of the images [MixW saves all received images]. A surprising number [like half] were unanswered CQ's with pictures of scantily clad women. I haven't checked it in a number of years. There are some digital SSTV signals starting around 14233 or so ... I don't know anything about them. > > If we did consider adding SSTV, we'd need to decide which SSTV > format(s) to support.

There's a half dozen or more analog modes, most of what I decoded was one of the Scottie's [there are several]. I suspect that, to be attractive, your software would need to decode the digital burst at the beginning and auto-select the mode like MixW does. We all get to use whatever modes we want ... personally, I was bored by SSTV and haven't looked at it in years. YMMV however. 73, Fred K6DGW - Northern California Contest Club - CU in the 2014 Cal QSO Party 4-5 Oct 2014 - www.cqp.org ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net/ Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to georgefrit...@yahoo.com ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to arch...@mail-archive.com
