Default where is SSTV these days?

frequencies listed athttp://www.tima.com/~djones/net.txtlately and
not only do I never find any SSTV, but often there are QSOs close
enough to those frequencies that nobody could go on air there if they
wanted to. *Once in a while I scan the entire band, but I never find
anything. *Am I just checking at the wrong times, or did everybody
give up? *The last time I was getting SSTV regularly, there were a lot
of people switching to digital, and with my antenna at the time I
could never get a clean copy. *But I know what digital SSTV sounds
like, and I'm not even hearing that now that I have a better antenna.


Tune to 14230 khz and it's only a matter of time.
