Slow Scan Television (SSTV) allows ham radio operators to transmit and receive still images over radio frequencies, often using standard voice transceivers. This mode is popular for its visual aspect, letting operators exchange pictures during QSOs, often showing their stations, antennas, or local scenery. SSTV activity can be found on various HF bands, and it is also a common mode for satellite operation, particularly from the International Space Station (ISS).

This category collects examples of received SSTV images, showcasing the results of successful transmissions. Operators can view galleries of images received from sources like the ISS, often during special ARISS events. There are also collections of digital SSTV images, sometimes received on bands like 80 meters, demonstrating various modes. Some sites feature live SSTV cams, providing a real-time look at images being transmitted by stations worldwide, such as those shared on World SSTV.
