NEW FAST SCAN ATV STREAMING SITE
The British Amateur Television Club has announced a new amateur television streaming video Web Site. It is
designed to bring streamed fast scan ATV to the internet and allow cross repeater operation while working from
its multi screen display. The site, located at www.batc.tv will also carry a library of ATV programs and will act
as a port for other ATV events to be streamed from around the world. (RSGB via ARNS)
