I think that for EMCOMM purposes, it would be great if VarAC could actually shrink (resize) a picture we shot using our laptop's camera, or any other webcam and make it the size we want before transmission via the send facility.
WINLINK has this feature and I find it very useful. On the other hand, maybe there is some program that can do this, but all simple picture manipuating programs I have tested, if they offer a menu to resize a picture they do not have the option for the user to actually tell the program how many kilobytes they want their picture to become. Anyone know a program that can do this?
I think a feature like this would be very neat if one can do it from VarAC.

Way back in the past. A ham from Texas Suggested that they use a scanner program (IFran) because the message being sent had to have the signature on the Document. I also sent high def pictures via Pactor 3 when I had antenna on the roof. We doing it via P2P. I made the mistake of sending it via Winlink Gateway. It took for ever to get the message. My concern is that some of the info would be private as one is operating in a call out for an EOC. Sending a picture of Moose or big elk (Or large Fish) Bragging rights. I see nothing wrong in showing it. In D Star they Reflector 55 and hams are sending really neat pictures. I have some really neat SSTV that I got from our local SSTV net on 145.600 here in the Vancouver area. I just got my new IC 705 so getting on the air is what I'm looking for. 73 Don VA7DGP/VA7QU
