Updated 21 January 2025 : Added a link to download the file for use on a BBC Micro or a suitable emulator.
Being a vintage computer collector (My Retro Computing site) and an amateur radio enthusiast it’s always a nice surprise to find some software that covers both bases.
On a disk I found today was some ATV software by Ron Bray G8VEH for the BBC Micro. The software designed test cards and other screens to be transmitted over ATV.
After reading the read me file that came with the software, I re-configured it for my call sign and locator. Take a look through the screen captures I have taken. I took the screen shots from inside an emulator. I have tried the software on the real hardware, and it looks great!
Unfortunately, I don’t have the hardware to transmit ATV signals, although I could send them via SSTV.
Here is a copy of the instructions that came with the software G8VEH-ATV.txt I have uploaded a copy of the software to my retro computing site. You can find the file here : Amateur radio software for the BBC Micro
