I really really dislike the use of animating GIF images. They're annoying and make it difficult to study any picture carefully. I hate them so much, that I'm putting in a formal request NOT to use these. Lots of pictures... yes. Lots of pictures compiled into a single animating GIF... no.
Thanks

As to the paper - how long does the image persist? This idea could translate into all manner of possibilities! How about a mechanical waterfall display for your valved HF rig would be great for me as I struggle to follow morse when there's more than two people audible...

But back to topic: Great idea, using phosphor paper! I wonder why nobody, not even J.L. Baird (or any radio amateurs in the years before computers became common to receive SSTV), had this idea before. I really would love to connect a fully mechanical SSTV-monitor to my shortwave receiver, to receive SSTV on 40 meters in a more classic way.
