This is the kind of leadership the Greens need. I know I'll be backing Zack

Thanks! I'm absolutely fascinated by SSTV, it's mostly what I've been looking into, but I'm ready to start on FM. I'm hoping to get a HF rig set up in the near future. 73!

Any Hams near Sherwood Forest Centre Parcs willing to listen out for a CQ for a new ham with Mic Fright? I've just got my @arissintl.bsky.social award for receiving SSTV from ISS and it's got me more determined to start using my radio for more than listening? - M7HIF (I arrive tomorrow)

First image of 2024 received from @arissintl.bsky.social isn't super clear, but it's the clearest I've received so far. Waiting on the second...

How life has changed. Not too long ago, I was just restarting work after a 30 minute break for the New Year. Now, I've listened to the bongs of Big Ben, I'm upstairs with my radio tuned in for the next passing of the ISS, hoping to start the year with a clear image.

I'm experimenting with receiving SSTV images from @arissintl.bsky.social
The quality received last night wasn't the strongest I've had , but I weirdly like the look of the distortions. It'd be nice to pick up a whole undisturbed image though! This is number 5, 6, and 7 over the last couple of days

SSTV is back on 2 Meters.

Thank you to our active social media posters for the confirmation.

Continue to listen in on 145.800 MHz to receive the SSTV images. Then share them to the gallery at

I am totally analogue, I've just been tuning manually, probably the only way really!

Doppler Shift on 70 cm isn't something I've ever had to battle with.. How do i do this? I'm desperate to get a full house of images haha

Used my CRT Micron UV to pick up SSTV transmissions from the ISS in the early hours of the morning. Quality of the decoded images wasn't great. I still did an excited little dance. First SSTV I've ever received. #hamradio #amateurradio

Re-discovering my vinyl collection after about 5 years without a record player. Chilling in bed to the sounds of my second favourite album of all time - Tommy by The Who.

Looking forward to more adventures and explorations with this one this winter. Any recommendations near Manchester?!

That Christmas (animated) was released today... that I would recommend. Its a Richard Curtis. Some big names. Heart warming if not a bit sickly. But.. it's a Richard Curtis. πŸ˜‚
