Good memories of the late 90s - decoding SSTV images on 14 MHz on my 386DX40 with "JVfax" (DOS - now also available for Windows http://www.jvcomm.de/index_e.html http://www.jvcomm.de/index_e.html). All you needed was a little converter that connected to the serial port, no sound card!
Back then it was kind of a big deal to see "live" pictures from all over the world, building up line by line.
Today SSTV is not much used any more on the shortwave bands but the ISS regularly transmits SSTV pictures and it's still fascinating.
