SSTV - Slow Scan TV

Slow Scan images

Slow Scan TV is a digital mode used for sending still pictures across Amateur Radio frequencies. I captured these slow scan images on the 10-meter SSTV frequency of 28.680 MHz using MMSSTV by Makoto Mori. They show various stages of QSOs. To send and receive SSTV you just need a laptop and a digital camera. For these images I used my Yaesu FT-757GX radio, 10-M dipole antenna at 6 feet and an ancient Texas Instruments laptop.

A Mexican station engaged in a QSO with the Japan station above. He has a pretty decent shack.
