[aprssig] high altitude balloon / Raspberry Pi SSTV/ RTTYtracking

[Charles Blackburn]

using VSB (vestigal side band) you have fast scan TV, but that's not 
packetised data, that's a constant stream. normal ntsc style VSB video is 6 
meg wide.

It definitely wont work on vhf at 1200 bps.

AFAIK, never been truly implemented, but has some discussion about
packet counts required to assemble even a small grayscale image. I
really couldn't see any way that video frames could come in over 1200
baud, or maybe even 9600 baud, and have any chance at actually getting
enough frames per second for motion.

It's not the APRS-IS that's the major consideration, but the RF channel
first.  But don't get me wrong, the APRS-IS isn't really made for
transmitting that kind of packet rate either.
