SSTV - General Information
--------------------------
You could easily get the impression that there is a conspiracy
to suppress modern information on SSTV. For example,
* A very popular introductory book about Ham Radio (no names
mentioned but it's available at Radio Shack) devotes only a
few sentences to SSTV and describes it as 8 second black & white
pictures. It's been nearly all color pictures for many years.
* The CQ 1994 Equipment Buyer's Guide lists only two SSTV products
and both were discontinued several years ago.
It is possible to find modern material on this fascinating topic
but you need to know where to look.

Bibliography

I've purposely excluded the scores of articles describing
modifications to the Robot 400 (an early Black & White only
system) because they're all in the booklets from ESF and of
little interest to someone without a Robot 400.
