Palm Beach County Luxury Realtor Linda Bassitt
I thought it would be appropriate to add the link to my fiance's website: www.lindabassitt.com
Linda Bassitt is a Palm Beach County luxury Realtor based in Palm Beach, FL. She is very supportive of me and my hobby, plus she has promised to get me some new goodies(espcially one that has D-STAR) once she closes her next major deal; given the fact that I am using rigs that are 20 + years old that belonged to my father.

Slow Scan TV (SSTV)
I have been a licensed ham for only three weeks now, but I have already participated in digital forms of transmission via SSTV. With the help of the members of the Wellington Radio Club past Sunday, June 15, 2008. I received and transmitted my first slow scan television pictures via the 2 meter Wellington radio club repeater @ 147.285 (+).Some examples of what I received:
From W4FK Bob:
It is free as long as it is not used for commercial purposes.

Scott AF4KK the net operator of the weekly slow scan net, held every Sunday at 7:30 on 147.285 repeater helped me in seting up the proper programs to make this possible.
Title MMSSTV:
It is free as long as it is not used for commercial purposes.
Background Information:
Slow-scan television (SSTV) is a picture transmission method used mainly by amateur radio operators, to transmit and receive static pictures via radio in monochrome or color.
A technical term for SSTV is narrowband television. Broadcast television requires huge 5, 6 or 8 MHz wide channels, because it transmits 25 or 30 pictures per second (in the NTSC, PAL or SECAM systems), but SSTV usually takes up to only 3 kHz of bandwidth. It is a much slower method of still picture transmission, usually lasting from about eight seconds to a couple of minutes.
Since SSTV systems operate on voice frequencies, amateurs use it on shortwave (also known as HF by amateur radio operators), VHF and UHF radio.
