Without an Amateur Radio license here I cannot transmit, and I believe SSTV isn't allowed here anyway...uncertain on that.
So after a call to the UK via Skype I thought it might be worth a try...why not? Or any other method that would allow SSTV signals (VoIP?), suggestions welcome. However, compression/companding may corrupt the signal. I know it's not the same as 'proper radio', but what else choice is there?
The obvious way is to simply e-mail .wav files, but it's not 'live' and can sit quite happily in your in-box until the next time you check it. In fact, within limits this forum could be used in the same manner...
I use Skype a lot to call the UK but even so I never use anywhere near the time I'm allowed each month...nearly seven hours...I might use just one hour each month...
I'd been interested in sending someone a SSTV signal where they record it then send it back to me via a telephone circuit. No cost to them with the six hours or so per month I have available...it's cheap enough to 'top-up' the hours if more are needed...
