The Doom 2016 soundtrack contained a spectrogram image; and

with RF you can transmit images in the same fashion. I am ~80% sure that fldigi can do it, but if not, there's other open source software that can do it as well. And this isn't like hellschreiber, it looks like the spectrogram images on the RF spectrogram. The images don't "go" as far as dedicated digital modes but it's still kinda fun to mess with people in your area (like within 100 miles or so, depending on band, time of day, and E[i]RP).

Here's a high resolution version. 2 MHz wide OFDM.

This website seems to break pinch-to-zoom in Chrome (on macOs). It just scrolls instead.

It does the same on Windows, and scrolling feels weird/slow. I blocked

with uBlock as a workaround.
