SSTV blog by Paul Turner, G4IJE

Welcome!

This website is mainly used to display my received SSTV images, but there are a few other pages that you might find of interest. The Articles section is more of a miscellaneous section for pages that do not fit into another category. I will also add a few comments on SSTV-related matters on this page from time to time.

I have received a few reasonable PD-120 images from the ISS over the last few days. Currently I have only a vertical in the loft for 2 metres but on some passes the ISS is up to about S7, which is good enough to overcome my high local noise level. See sample below. There are a few more on the ISS page.

I have revived the favourites page. I will occasionally upload received images that I consider to be worth keeping on display for a while. There is a link to favourites on the main RX PICS page or you can click here.


30th July 2024

I have decided to simplify the RX PICS section of this website. I don't think it's worthwhile keeping so many old images in their monthly folders. I doubt anyone ever bothered to look at them. Instead I will have just one page showing the most recent received images - perhaps around 100 or so - and older ones will be deleted. I have also discontinued the "favourites" page.

As I will be displaying a smaller number of images I will probably be a bit more selective in choosing which images to display. I don't think there is much point in uploading noisy or incomplete images.


29th July 2024

I have updated the styling of this website. It might be several days before all pages are up and running with the new styling. I will also take this opportunity to remove some old/irrelevent pages. The new design doesn't look very different to the old one, but it is very different behind the scenes, so it could take a while to iron out all the bugs.


24th December 2023

I have removed some of the older received images.


25th May 2022

I have replaced my 20m dipole with an End Fed Half-Wave wire antenna. It seems to be working quite well and the noise level is slightly lower than the dipole. I generally have the receiver running on 14.230MHz at the weekends.
