Freqs for weather fax, SSTV and RTTY?
 

I just hooked up my R75 to my computer using Hamscope and JVComm and I
am looking for freqs to receive faxes, SSTV and RTTY. Is there a web
site listing the more popular freqs? I am in NY state. Thanks for your
input.

I know there is still weather charts from Halifax (10.535?). They
alternate with RTTY.
As far as slow scan, try 14.230 USB and 14.233 USB (mostly digital
slow scan-search for DIGTRX program) . Also 7173 kHz around 1600Z -
midwest DIGTRX daily. Good luck!!

Well, let's see; most commercial RTTY is gone; there are a few meteo
stations left, but even those that send in standard RTTY are a dying
breed. SSTV is usually found around 14230 and several other ham bands
and as for FAX, take a look at the NOAA world radiofax schedule:

Except for some rare loggings from Japan and Singapore, most press
photo fax is done on satellite. If you'd like to find out more, join

files there that you will find useful. For popular freqs for monitoring
during this active hurricane season, see:

Thank you. I found a DigitX program and will try it out tonight!
