SSTV stands for "slow scan television", i am no expert on the subject, the above pictures are just a few that i have recieved.
There are various frequencys that you can tune into, some of which i have included below :
----------------------------------------------------------------
160 metres - 1.900
80 metres - 3.370
40 metres - 7.045
20 metres - 14.230
20 metres - 14.233
17 metres - 18.160
15 metres - 21.340
12 metres - 24.975
10 metres - 28.680

To recieve sstv signals you will need a pc/laptop and you will need some software, MMSSTV is freeware, and so i have included a copy here for you to download, but please visit the programers website for further information.
His name is Makoto Mori - JE3HHT and his website is : http://mmhamsoft.amateur-radio.ca/mmsstv/
To receive sstv, connect a lead from the output speaker socket on your radio, to the soundcard input on your pc,tune to your desired frequency, run your software, and with any luck, you will be recieving pictures from all over the globe !
please be aware that not all the pictures sent are viewable by younger members of the family !
If you haven't heard an sstv signal, please select the wav file below for an indication as to what sstv sounds like.

At the time of writing this webpage, i couldnt find to many freqs that have digital sstv, but 80m ( 3.733 lsb) seems to be popular.
* If you have any relialbe freqs to add to this page please email me.*
The image quality is near perfect as you can see by comparing the images above with the analogue sstv images.
The program i use is called Easypal which can be downloaded here:
