[amsat-bb] HF DIGITAL SSTV on SATELLITE'S....

[amsat2005@xxxxxxxxxxx]

HI..
   There is a new DIGITAL sstv going around that looks very good for sending
pictures. The pic's are near perfect copies and the time to send them is
short compared to
Scottie one or martin one.

   Now we ham's have all ways been some of the first to invent or try NEW
things with radio,, I remember when some one sent a ROBOT sstv mode over a
satellite and it
worked...

     SO who will be the first to send this new DIGITAL
sstv over one of the satellite's.

      I think testing should start soon BUT I also know
a LOT of you will HATE the idea.
