Fast-Scan Television, often known simply as Amateur Television and abbreviated ATV, allows amateur operators to send and receive live-action TV images very similar to those of broadcast TV.

(However, the record is Hawaii to California.) Amateurs wishing to exchange images with operators thousands of miles away should investigate Slow-Scan Television (SSTV).
