SSTV DX

Many SSTVers enjoy a video QSO with an SSTVer in a foreign land. Like a voice DX QSO, a few are very brief, but most are very interesting and educational. SSTV WAS, SSTV WAC, and SSTV DXCC was achieved many years ago.

Sometimes the DX QSO is hard to tell from a local QSO. One time a station in Guam called me and we talked SSTV for about an hour. The band errupted when we finally ended our QSO!

Sometimes DX SSTVers do not know English, and the whole QSO may be only pictures. One of the most interesting contacts ever was with a French SSTVer who did not speak a word of English, but gave me a video tour of French castles in his neighborhood. A video only DX QSO really keeps you busy, as each image is usually titled with the calls, as well as loading a picture of yourself, a picture of the rig, the antenna, a map picture showing where you live, a view of your house, and generally some scenic view of you country. I don't care at all about voice DX contacts, but DX SSTV contacts are generally very interesting.

Most of the stations below were worked on 14230.
