The past few months, I've been doing a lot with #SSTV but one thing that has frustrated me, is the lack of public domain test cards that can be used.

I've been using the Philips PM5544 test pattern, which is a good one, but it's rendered for PAL resolution, which rarely corresponds to those used with SSTV.

Some have used BBC's Test Card F: but here is a problem -- it's copyrighted. Not sure how legal it is to use this. I'd rather not invite legal trouble using it.

The RCA Chief test card is a good one, public domain, but it is monochrome, and also not quite the right resolution for SSTV either.

I came up with these:

I'll make these available in the public domain, so use however you feel.

#Teletext and #testcard are so cool.

Especially when background music playing.

Some time ago I've shared a #testcard of MBC Gyeongnam 🇰🇷: https://mastodon.radio/@arnie_dxer/110866543281475823

Now here's a similar one from MBC Busan.

Thinking about redecorating. 🎨
