Ceefax (teletext)!

I presume this is due to the fact that there is now no analuge broadcast
TV in Britain any more :-( bOr as I was saying yesterday 'I've got System
I television // Though it can't receive a thing' [1].
[1] The original is fro ma Flanders and Swann song and is 'I've got
colour television // THough it can't receive a thing'.
I assume that NICAM stereo sound is also dead ;-(. Pity, I enjoyed
building and aligning the Maplin decoder kit many years ago.
As for Teletext, I am going to have to have a go at making a teletext
encoder so as to be able to do something with the various decoders I have
(homebrew and otherwise, for the BBC micro and otherwise).
As far as I know there is nothing to stop radio amateurs in the UK (or
elsewhere) transmiting teletect (or NICAM sound) as part of a TV signal.
I don't know if any do, though.
