I was actually surprised to know that data transmission is doable on ham radio. Not sure why I was surprised since data transmission is possible through pretty much any protocol but it was cool to know the versatility of what many see as pretty basic radio.
Check out "slow scan tv" if you haven't already. I have my amateur license and was surprised to learn all of the ways in which radio waves can be utilized
I first learned about SSTV over a decade ago from Portal! I remember I had to get a two sided 3.5mm audio cable to plug my computer's speaker. https://youtu.be/DlIvnc-AZJQ (Video of someone decoding it.)
That's freaking cool, I never knew that. Appreciate the link
No worries! I think this was before Portal 2 and meant as a teaser. The person in the vid clearly has an interesting setup but you could do it with just a normal PC very easily.
