HF Weather FAX

John Pumford-Green 22/10/22 08:25

I thought I'd have a look at some other HF signals and found that Fldigi will decode Weather FAX.

I found a big list of active FAX stations:

https://www.weather.gov/media/marine/rfax.pdf

and set up Fldigi and my Icom IC-R75.

Here's a sample image from NMF/Boston USA on 9110kHz at 2339UTC last night (21st Oct. 2022)

I've set up a cron job to copy (using rsync) the received images to a directory on my shack's little webserver:

PT. REYES, CALIFORNIA, U.S.A.

I'd like to receive FAX from NMC/Point Reyes in California…. and perhaps I'll leave fldigi monitoring one of their frequencies for a period
