Tonight (February 23, 2020) as part of the Sunday evening CARC Two Meter Net which meets at 1900 EST, CARC members Frank Mellott KB3PQT and Andrew Forsyth AF3I demonstrated sending and receiving SSTV images (Slow Scan Television) over the air. 
The equipment on each end of the radio connection consisted of a Two Meter FM amateur radio transceiver, a personal computer, a PC Sound Card, and some free software called MMSSTV.
