SSTV activity on 7173 may occur at anytime of the day so tune in anytime and ask if there is any SSTV going on.

Our group started out in 1994 with "Cholly", "TMR Dave" and "YZ Dave" running various analog programs.
These days we primarily run digital SSTV using EasyPal software with RS encoding.
The RS1 level of encoding only requires about 10% longer to send but allows a complete copy with only 90% of the segments received.
This greatly reduces the need for BSR's and FIX'es.

Coverage generally includes the eastern US with a high participation from those in the midwest.
For those hams that are permitted to use the Advanced/Extra protion of the 40 Meter Band, you are invited to check into the net.
There are SSTV nets on Saturday, Sunday and sometimes weekdays in the General Band on 7178 starting at 1400Z.

If you have not tried SSTV or any of the new digital modes it can be very simple to get started.
All you need is a computer, a soundcard, and some free software.
Check in on one of the nets and the guys there will give you a hand on getting started.
