SSTV at Dayton Hamvention '96, May 17 -19
1996 is the 30 year anniversary of the first FCC-sanctioned
on-the-air tests of amateur SSTV, and the most exciting year
yet for SSTV.
Here is a quick summary of the SSTV activities at the
Dayton Hamvention. Others are expected to write more
detailed reports. I'll add links when I find out about them.
