Just wondering how many of you out there work SSTV.I just got geared up this weekend and am using MMSSTV and the soundcard with my computer.It couldn't be simpler.Good thing for me it is. <img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/images/emoticons/nerd.gif ALT="8o"> LOL.Radio is a Yaesu FT-857.I copied several great pictures Friday evening and was set to tx Saturday morning.Boy was there a lot of QRM from the contesters jumping in on 14.230 over the SSTV transmissions and they had the gall to complain about the QRM from contacts already in progress on a recognised SSTV freq.I finally did contact KC7GNM in Georgia for my first contact.It was neat to see my picture sent back to me.Now I have to build up a picture base and create some templates to add.Hope to see some of you on SSTV. And I do mean "see".

Might as well check out WSJT then too. Mostly for 6 and above. A high speed meteor mode and a slow speed mode that pulls signals out well below the noise.
