SSTV local net #repeater #SSTV


 

I'm gauging interest in having an impromptu SSTV net after the W0SW net on Sunday evening to exchange a few pictures.
I'd like to host the net on the 147.03 repeater to let more folks tune in and copy the signals S-9.
We used to do it 30 years ago without issue.
Slow scan FM is no different than voice communications from the repeater's standpoint.
However, I thought it would be a good idea to get some club member input first.

Leon KF0OUA and myself have done some SSTV simplex on 146.550 and it works well between us because we have fairly tall antennae.
Doing over the repeater just lets more folks get good copy.

Opinions? Questions? Answers? :)

I work, so count me out on Sundays


 

I won't be able to do it this Sunday,? but I'd like to give it a try.? I think it's a good idea.


 

Nothing fancy. It's for folks want an opportunity to try out their SSTV skills.
To listen in, just a audio cable between the 2m radio's speaker jack and a computer sound card mic in should do it to listen in while running any of the SSTV programs.
I'll send a few pictures and if some of the others are set to transmit they can share some too.
Just a lot of fun making weird noises turn in to pictures.

The SSTV experiment over the .03 repeater was mostly a bust Sunday evening.
The repeater was dropping out mid transmission on a 90 second picture.?
A simplex test showed no issues, so it's unclear why. Timeout timer?
Maybe we'll try it with the new UHF repeater, mostly to compare results.
