Thank you all for your participation at #TOTA on the #39C3. We will be back at the #40C3 at the latest. In the meantime, @hax404 is happy to get received #SSTV images to create a picture gallery.

A bit of #SSTV activity on #15m … but it's a little weak to get a proper decode.

I've just done an antenna tune-up to see if that helps, unfortunately none of the SSTV cams I know of caught it.

@df9hc we debated that before congress in #chaoswelle Matrix, but a separate qrg would likely lead to less activity, since most people don’t have a dedicated radio for #SSTV and just use acoustic coupling with smartphones.

The protocol of “this is <call>, in <nn> seconds I’ll send SSTV in <mode>” wasn’t really followed this year and worked better last year. That heads-up usually allows folks to prepare their SSTV apps or turn down the volume. Maybe that’s something to formalize in the rules.

Auf dem #39c3 ist mir wieder aufgefallen, das die Situation mit den SSTV Apps auf Android eher suboptimal ist. Man braucht eine zum decodieren und keine zum codieren, und die zum codieren kann Text zu bild hinzufügen so naja.
Was möchte Mensch denn verwenden wenn man in 2026 eine App für Android und iOS entwickeln will, aber nur eine Codebase haben will?
