Welcome to our live stream where you can experience the magic of Slow Scan Television (SSTV) in real time! Watch as static images are transmitted and received via 20 meters, offering a fascinating look at one of ham radio’s oldest and most beloved specialty modes. During this live event, you’ll not only get to see the images come in slowly, but you’ll also hear the unique sounds that accompany SSTV transmissions. ​​Link to Free Software: https://hamsoft.ca/pages/mmsstv.php ​​There is an android version as well: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=xdsopl.robot36&hl=en_US&pli=1 You can literally download the software and hold you phone up to the speaker receiving the signal and see it on your phone. What Is Slow Scan TV (SSTV)? Slow Scan Television has been a part of ham radio for over 50 years, and it’s still widely popular today. SSTV allows ham radio operators to transmit static images using audio frequencies, which means that any voice-capable radio can be used for SSTV. The image is transmitted line by line—right to left and top to bottom—using three primary colors. The process uses the same bandwidth as a voice transmission, making it efficient for a variety of radio setups. This live feed will give you a front-row seat to SSTV transmissions on the 20-meter band (14.230 MHz), which is one of the most active frequencies for this mode. Whether you’re new to SSTV or an experienced ham operator, this stream is a great way to enjoy real-time image transmission, from initial signal reception to the complete image display. What to Expect During the Broadcast: Live SSTV Image Reception: As each image is transmitted, you'll be able to watch it slowly appear on your screen, from top to bottom, in vibrant colors. We’ll be receiving images via the popular Robot36 mode, which transmits a single image in just 36 seconds! Real-Time Audio: Listen to the unique tones that SSTV uses to transmit images. These sounds are transmitted at audio frequencies, making it possible for any radio capable of voice transmission to participate in SSTV. 20-Meter Band Reception: We’ll be tuning into 14.230 MHz, a common frequency for SSTV activity, especially during evenings and weekends. You’ll get a chance to see and hear transmissions from ham operators all over the world. How SSTV Works: SSTV takes static images and “scans” them for transmission. The images are sent in red, green, and blue color bands, one at a time. These signals are transmitted as audio tones, which are then decoded by software on the receiving end to recreate the image. You’ll be able to witness the process as the images build up piece by piece! Why Is This Stream Unique? Our setup is designed to give viewers a seamless, immersive experience. Using a digital mode interface between the radio and computer, we receive crystal-clear SSTV images, and the audio has been optimized for broadcast so you can clearly hear the SSTV transmission tones. We’ve also included tools to make the experience accessible to both beginners and seasoned operators. How You Can Get Involved: Even if you’re not currently operating on the ham bands, you can still enjoy this live event. Watching SSTV is an exciting way to observe the communication process in action, and if you’re curious about how to get started, we’ll be discussing the basics of setting up your own SSTV system. Whether you're using an HF radio or VHF mobile rig, you can easily experiment with SSTV by using the right software and digital mode interfaces. Features of Our Live Stream: Real-time SSTV Reception: Watch images being transmitted live in the popular Robot36 mode. 20-Meter Band Activity: Tune in to see what kind of images are being shared by operators worldwide on 14.230 MHz. Condensed Audio and Visuals: For those curious about how SSTV works, we’ve stripped away the dead air, so you can focus on the action-packed moments as the transmissions come through. Educational Insights: Along with live reception, we’ll be explaining the technology behind SSTV and how you can get started with your own SSTV setup. Sit back, relax, and enjoy this real-time look at Slow Scan TV. Whether you’re a curious newcomer or a ham radio veteran, this live stream will give you a first-hand look at the fascinating world of SSTV communication. Stay tuned, as we’ll be providing commentary throughout the broadcast, and answering questions from the live chat. Let’s explore the art of SSTV together!

The Newbie Net is open to everyone, especially new Ham Radio Operators. The net gives new Hams an opportunity to get some actual “On the Air Operating Experience” while enjoying some “No Pressure Mike Time.” Both newcomers and seasoned ham radio operators are welcome. Larry Nossen N1NQU serves as Net Control of the Newbie Net. He will first ask operators to “Check In” and suggest discussion topics or bring questions / problems related to new projects, modes, antennas, equipment, operating environments, and anything else they may have, to the Net. Then, drawing on the experience of operators on the Net, Larry will endeavor to find solutions to problems or will let members explore ideas / projects brought up by Newbie Net participants. And, just in case you think that only the “old timers” might be offering solutions, we’ve often found that Newbies have experience in more recent technical areas (think Raspberry Pi, SDR, QRP projects) that some of the “old timers” can benefit from as well as Newbies. Please join us for the Newbie Net on Monday evening! More coverage from our Partners: https://www.youtube.com/@CarlottaAlotta https://www.youtube.com/@ScuffedRadio

📡 StarShip Studios LIVE Coverage Plan - If tornado warnings, flooding, or high-impact severe weather begins to unfold across any of the risk areas, I will go LIVE on YouTube at @StarShipAdventures. Expect: Live radar & warning overlays Scanner audio & storm spotter reports Storm chaser feeds (as available) Real-time aircraft and satellite views Critical updates from NWS, SPC, and EMAs 🔴 Watch for our live broadcast announcement — and stay weather-aware. This system has already proven deadly and the worst may still be ahead. ⚠️ SEVERE WEATHER ALERT: Tornadoes, Large Hail & Flooding Threaten Central U.S. Through Easter & Passover Severe storms are threatening large portions of the Central U.S. this Easter Sunday and final day of Passover, with the potential for very large hail, damaging winds, and even strong tornadoes. This is a developing and dangerous situation. Storms have already turned deadly — and more severe weather is on the way. If conditions warrant, we will go LIVE with real-time radar, watches/warnings, and field reports on YouTube at @StarShipAdventures. Watch for our LIVE COVERAGE later today. 🌪️ What’s Happening Now Supercells Saturday night produced golf ball to tennis ball-size hail, wind gusts up to 80 mph, and several tornadoes across west-central Texas into southern Oklahoma. In Moore, Oklahoma, tragic flooding claimed the lives of two people, including a child, when their vehicle was swept away by high water. Large hail damaged homes and vehicles from San Angelo, TX to Ardmore, OK. These storms are intensifying and moving eastward — setting up an extremely volatile day across the heartland. 🔥 Easter Sunday Forecast: Areas At Risk Severe thunderstorms are likely throughout the day across a broad swath of the Central U.S. Most at risk Sunday: Arkansas Missouri Eastern Oklahoma North Texas Northern Louisiana Southern Illinois Southern Iowa Cities to watch: Little Rock Springfield St. Louis Shreveport Kansas City Dallas/Fort Worth San Antonio Fort Smith Potential Impacts: Damaging thunderstorm winds Hail up to softball-size (4") Strong tornadoes Localized flash flooding Easter egg hunts, outdoor gatherings, or religious services may be impacted or need to be canceled entirely depending on local conditions. 🌊 Flash Flood Threat Still Ongoing With the ground already saturated from days of heavy rain, flash flooding remains a high concern. Up to 2" of additional rain is forecast across much of the Central U.S., with localized higher totals possible depending on where training storms develop. 🌀 Recap: A Week of Tornadoes and Destruction Thursday evening, twin supercells barreled through Nebraska and Iowa, spawning multiple tornadoes, including an EF3 near Omaha. Baseball- to softball-size hail smashed homes and vehicles in Fremont, NE and Council Bluffs, IA. In southwest Iowa, a rare Tornado Emergency was issued for a large twister near Essex, leaving significant damage and debris. By Friday morning, storms had reached southern Wisconsin, with baseball-size hail and 68 mph winds damaging vehicles in Edgerton. 🌬️ Why This is Happening A powerful jet stream dip across the western U.S. is swinging warm, moist Gulf air into the Plains. This classic spring setup is fueling explosive storm development over a wide region. This is the same pattern responsible for historic outbreaks in past Aprils — and it is back in play. 🧭 What You Should Do NOW If you live in or near any of the areas mentioned above: ✅ Charge your devices and enable wireless emergency alerts. ✅ Have multiple ways to get warnings — NOAA Weather Radio, local apps, or TV. ✅ Identify your shelter location now — especially if you live in a mobile home. ✅ Stay off the roads during storms, especially near flood-prone areas. ✅ NEVER drive through floodwaters — they’re deeper and faster-moving than they look. ⚠️ According to the National Weather Service, 33 people have died in flooding so far in 2025 — 21 of them in vehicles. Don’t become a statistic. Stay safe out there — and as always, StarShip Studios will keep watch so you don’t have to.
