SOFTWARE FOR SLOW SCAN TELEVISION

SLOW SCAN TELEVISION HAS COME A LONG WAY SINCE COPTHORNE MACDONALD TRANSMITTED THE FIRST SSTV PICTURE ACROSS THE ATLANTIC IN 1959. NOW  NO SPECIALISED EQUIPMENT IS REQUIRED TO RECEIVE AND TRANSMIT SSTV PICTURES - OTHER THAN THE STATION TRANSCEIVER AND A COMPUTER - PLUS SOME SOFTWARE. THERE'S A GREAT MANY SSTV PROGRAMMES AROUND BUT  I GUESS THE BEST TO USE IN MY OPINION ARE EITHER MSCAN, CHROMAPIX OR THE  PROGRAM FROM JE3HHT. UT2UZ HAS JUST ADDED A SSTV MODE TO HIS MULTI-MODE PROGRAM - ITS RATHER GOOD.
