Hi Andy, Yes I am sure it is legal now.
I am copying Rick's response to a question about MFSK16 SSTV posted in this group a while back: Rick said: Yes, thanks to Mark, N5RFX, who petitioned the FCC last year, the decision was made to allow any kind of image transmission (analog or digital) in text digital portions of the bands here in the U.S., provided that they are 500 Hz or less in bandwidth. The FCC redefined "data" to include image when under 500 Hz and can be found at: ยง97.3 Definitions. (c)(2) Data.Telemetry, telecommand and computer communications emissions having (i) designators with A, C, D, F, G, H, J or R as the first symbol, 1 as the second symbol, and D as the third symbol; (ii) emission J2D; and (iii) emissions A1C, F1C, F2C, J2C, and J3C having an occupied bandwidth of 500 Hz or less when transmitted on an amateur service frequency below 30 MHz. Only a digital code of a type specifically authorized in this part may be transmitted. Here are some interpretations of the ITU Emission Classifications: A1C = DSB AM digital FAX with no subcarrier F1C = FM FAX digital modulation with no subcarrier (MFSK) F2C = FM digital FAX with subcarrier J2C = digital SSB FAX with subcarrier J3C = analog SSB FAX 73, Rick, KV9U ----- Original Message ----- From: "Andrew O'Brien" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "DIGITALRADIO" <digitalradio@yahoogroups.com> Sent: Sunday, January 20, 2008 4:10 PM Subject: [digitalradio] Narrow SSTV legal in USA on 30M? > Regarding Sholto's idea about using narrow SSTV on 30M, is it legal in > the USA.
