🔴LIVE SSTV Broadcast: Watch Slow Scan TV Images Come in on 20 Meters! Amateur Radio MMSSTV
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.
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.
