I have copied and worked LOTS of SSTV stations on 20 meters. And some were not all that strong. There is a lot of QRM, doubling, people talking on SSB, etc etc on 14.230. We also did some SSTV on AO-51 a while back and I got some good pictures there, too. Here are a couple of 20M ones attached.

Jeff, KB8VCO and I were successful in transmitting a picture and receiving back an image via the ARISSat-1/RADIOSKAF-V transponder.
By the way, once I got MMSTV loaded I decided to just park it on 14.230 MHz all day long and watch the SSTV images come rolling in. I have been watching them in my office (when I walk by that PC) and although hear SSTV all day long, and some signals very strong..... I must admit, only ONE in 2 weeks has been discernable as to what the picture actually is..
ALl the rest you can tell MAYBE that it is some kind of picutre with maybe some text at the top and the bottom, but NONE of them have been readable. Yet, the signals sound like they would make a Q5 599 SSB signal. Is it just me, or does HF multipath slur the imgaes beyone all recognition.?
