HF with FFT-TV

I received an email a very interesting email from WA6NUT.
I had never heard of FFT-TV until he brouht it up. Here is his email


Hello Bryon, N6IFU,
Congratulations on your ATV Newsletter (I look forward to each issue). And your 'Everything you Wanted to Know...' book on ATV is very helpful, too.

Some of your readers, like myself, may live in rural areas where UHF ATV isn't possible (My QTH is in a valley at 8,000 ft. elevation in the Rockies). Fortunately for us, Con Wassilieff, ZL2AFP, has developed soundcard software, called 'FFT-TV', for full-color video over HF.

The frame rate is only 1 FPS (or less), but AVI clips can be
sent and received over HF for playback at 10 FPS (giving smooth motion). The frame rate for "live" video can be increased by post-processing with frame interpolation software. Hardware requirements are the same as for SSTV.

For more information and downloads, try these links:

ZL1WTT's page: http://www.qsl. net/zl1wtt/ nbtv.htm
WA6NUT's page: http://www.hamsdr. com/personaldire ctory.aspx? did=1139

See you on HF with FFT-TV!
73, Rick, WA6NUT
Buena Vista, Colorado

If you are interested in experimenting with FFT-TV you should contact WA6NUT
at wa6nut@arrl. net .


If you wish to subscribe to the 'ATV Newsletter', send me an email I will add you to my mailing list. The newsletter is FREE.

See you all on ATV,
Bryon Foster, N6IFU
