Slow Scan Television (SSTV) Resources for Hams
Find guides, software, frequency lists, and image galleries for transmitting and receiving SSTV signals in amateur radio.
Slow Scan Television (SSTV) allows hams to transmit and receive still images over radio, adding a visual dimension to traditional voice and digital QSOs. Operators use SSTV on HF bands for DX contacts and on VHF/UHF for local communication, often sharing images of their stations, QSL cards, or local scenery. It's a popular mode for those who enjoy combining amateur radio with photography and digital image processing.
This category provides resources for both new and experienced SSTV operators, including beginner guides and technical information on setting up equipment. Hams can find software recommendations, such as MMSSTV, for encoding and decoding images, along with details on building interfaces for their transceivers. Many sites offer extensive SSTV picture libraries and frequency lists to help operators find activity on the bands, with examples from stations like DK5AI and K3AS showcasing received images.
