Pictures sent by Pactor 1July 2003
This mode of transmitting pictures is the culmination of 4 years of trials with other modes such as slow scan TV, and finally Pactor I.
The pictures are perfect, " FEC" Forward Error Corrected in a binary
file format...which means number and signs that translate into the pixels which
ultimately form these pictures. After years of work and frustration... these
small pictures are the first step in the process being able to send out pictures
with out being bound to satellite transmission or spending days searching for
an internet link on the Amazon. I will be progressing to the Pactor III mode
shortly, ...a mode which will allow me to send 12 times faster... ultimately
transmitting pictures of about 50 Kb in size, ...direct from the Amazon Queen.
