Example SSTV Images Received

Slow scan television pictures, fax, rtty, and cw are received and sent at this station with a homebrew decoder which, together with suitable software and computer, enable very good results on this fascinating mode. With very basic circuitry and minimal components it is easy to build a simple interface as a homebrew project.

SSTV images are produced with either my Nikon D100 or Olympus FE-5000 digital camera. I can also utilize a colour scanner for reproducing photographs or other material. It is possible to convert images to the appropriate format for showing on sstv with a range of suitable image manipulation programme such as Paint Shop Pro.

Kodak and Jessop`s provide a service which enables conversion of 35mm images for use in sstv following processing onto CD ROM or floppy disks. Like many others new to sstv I started by getting images off low priced cd`s and used these as a basis for my SSTV operating. Whilst I still get great pleasure from seeing images from this source it is nice to produce original work whenever possible.
