The challenge of SSTV is two fold, one of which is being to send an interesting picture that is straight ( no slant to it) and the other is to receive a picture that is equally interesting, clear and straight, To meet these challenges one must learn how to use the settings in the program they are using, settings on the radio, interfacing to the radio and then hope for good band openings and strong, clean signals from the sending station. In the world of SSB "voice" the term "your RST is..... R being "readability" , S being "signal strength" and T being "tone" (technically not voice but rather for CW). In the SSTV world the term to describe the sending party's signal is RSV, R meaning "readability" , S being "signal strength" and V being "video" quality. A 595 RSV meaning you have a near perfect signal and picture. Much like SSB voice where a 59 in often a "default" report, however bad the signal is a 595 on SSTV is quite often a default report. Mainly because this is either part of a "template" value and few operators take the time to change it before sending the report ( a habit I am trying to break myself of).
Here are some of the "better" 595 or close pictures I have received lately ( updated every few days or so depending on how good the signals are
