TruckCam -
Amateur Radio is Movin' On

An Essex-based radio ham is transmitting live images from his truck as he travels around the UK.

From a dashboard mounted webcam in his delivery truck, Paul Young, G0HWC from Clacton on Sea, transmits a live video feed of the road ahead.

So, sit back and follow Paul on his journey around the country. And, just in case you can't figure out exactly where he is at the moment, Paul has a live APRS map on his website too.

Paul's website carries this description of his system:

"The truckcam is fitted into my truck and transmits a live video feed while I am working. This is Monday to Friday from 4am (0300 UTC) until I finish each day.

"I also run APRS from the truck so you can also follow me on the live map. The live video feed from the truckcam relies on a 3G mobile internet connection so in some parts of the UK I will lose connection. Same goes for the APRS tracking as when I am not in range of a APRS I-Gate the tracking will stop until my signals are picked up again."

Paul has a impressive and comprehensive SSTV website which is full of useful information.
