Preliminary results of 1.7 GHz monitoring of the interstellar scintillation of low-DM pulsars with the TCfA 32-m radiotelescope are presented. The dynamic spectra of pulsar intensity variations have been measured with the PSPM-2 which is a 2 × 64 × 3 MHz - channel spectrometer. The 192 MHz total bandwidth of this device provides an adequate frequency coverage to fully parametrize the observed scintillation. A distinct multiple imaging event has been identified in the dynamic spectra of PSR B1133+16.
