Did you know there was a new TV show about Amateur Radio? Well, not over broadcast television but over live streaming. All you need is an internet connection and a browser.
The show, Ham Nation is produced by the Twit Network live on Tuesday evenings at 8PM central and covers everything ham radio.
A UK Ham has a live streaming video feed from his livery truck. The Essex-based radio ham is transmitting live images from his truck as he travels around the UK. From a dashboard mounted webcam, Paul Young, G0HWC from Clacton on Sea, transmits a live video feed of the road ahead.
See the recorded clip here:
So, sit back and follow Paul on his journey around the country. And, just in case you can't figure out exactly where he is at the moment, Paul has a live APRS map on his website too.
Paul's website carries this description of his system:"The truckcam is fitted into my truck and transmits a live video feed while I am working. This is Monday to Friday from 4am (0300 UTC) until I finish each day.
"I also run APRS from the truck so you can also follow me on the live map. The live video feed from the truckcam relies on a 3G mobile internet connection so in some parts of the UK I will lose connection. Same goes for the APRS tracking as when I am not in range of a APRS I-Gate the tracking will stop until my signals are picked up again."

Paul also has a impressive and comprehensive SSTV website which is full of useful information. You'll find it at: http://www.g0hwc.com
