Rick, most SSTV contacts are done with text templates superimposed on the images. The templates are basically like a CW conversation - Name , QTH, UR 595 etc. and prepared in advance, some have macros to make this easier. Have a look at a few of the webcam pages for the JA, VK and EU conversations for a better idea. I don't see as much of this type of QSO from the USA pages. Brad VK2QQ
