SSTV.org.uk field notes https://sstv.org.uk/field-notes/ UK SSTV receiving notes, source checks, mode evidence, and station practice. Portable receiving chain: radio, audio, decoder, archive https://sstv.org.uk/field-notes/portable-receiving-chain/ https://sstv.org.uk/field-notes/portable-receiving-chain/ Tue, 01 Sep 2026 12:00:00 GMT A practical UK bench note on handhelds, scanners, SDRs, microphones, audio leads, levels, and what to log after a noisy pass. SDR recording notes for SSTV passes and HF openings https://sstv.org.uk/field-notes/sdr-recording-workflow/ https://sstv.org.uk/field-notes/sdr-recording-workflow/ Tue, 01 Sep 2026 12:00:00 GMT How to record a wider slice once, keep the pass evidence, and decode from WAV later without losing the station log. SSDV ground-station notes: packets before pictures https://sstv.org.uk/field-notes/ssdv-ground-station-workflow/ https://sstv.org.uk/field-notes/ssdv-ground-station-workflow/ Tue, 01 Sep 2026 12:00:00 GMT A practical receive note for SSDV sessions: identify the transport, preserve packet bytes, track callsign and image ID, and only then judge the reconstructed JPEG. SSDV versus analog SSTV: what changes at the receiver https://sstv.org.uk/field-notes/ssdv-vs-analog-sstv/ https://sstv.org.uk/field-notes/ssdv-vs-analog-sstv/ Tue, 01 Sep 2026 12:00:00 GMT Analog SSTV paints a frame in audio tones; SSDV moves packetised JPEG fragments. The receive habits overlap, but the failure modes are different. DRM digital SSTV receiving: confirm the signal before the image https://sstv.org.uk/field-notes/drm-digital-sstv-receive-workflow/ https://sstv.org.uk/field-notes/drm-digital-sstv-receive-workflow/ Tue, 01 Sep 2026 12:00:00 GMT A station note for DRM-derived digital SSTV: preserve audio, log robustness mode, check FAC/SDC/MSC, then judge the recovered image. DRM, SSDV, and analog SSTV: three ways to move pictures by radio https://sstv.org.uk/field-notes/drm-vs-ssdv-vs-analog-sstv/ https://sstv.org.uk/field-notes/drm-vs-ssdv-vs-analog-sstv/ Tue, 01 Sep 2026 12:00:00 GMT A comparison note separating analog line timing, SSDV JPEG packets, and DRM COFDM signals so station logs ask the right first question. Choosing an SSTV app when the radio comes with you https://sstv.org.uk/field-notes/choosing-an-sstv-app/ https://sstv.org.uk/field-notes/choosing-an-sstv-app/ Mon, 24 Aug 2026 12:00:00 GMT An editorial app note comparing a regular station desk with a lighter first-pass iOS setup, framed around audio practice rather than a sales page.
