I had a lot of fun with the International Space Ship SSTV broadcast and was finally able to decode a partial picture. This whole exercise
whetted my appetite for SSTV. Are there any regularly scheduled SSTV broadcasts that I can pick up and decode. I tried yesterday, leaving my scanner on 6925 all day, hoping to pick up a pirate radio SSTV transmission, but nothing came in.
I'm not going to pick up anything on F.M., unless the transmission is nearby.
I don't have a great antenna, but at night, I get good reception from 3000 kHz to 12000 kHz, the lower stuff from 3000 to 6000 has been coming in better recently. The internet tells me that 14230 is popular, but when scanning for Shortwave, I've never picked up anything higher than 12100.
Are their any regularly scheduled SSTV transmissions that I expect to pick up in my area? If not, what are some good frequencies to tune to? I haven't tested much during the day, but it looks like I'm not getting anything good before 0:00 A.M. UTC.
