Typhoon Halong in three radiofax received this morning in Rio de Janeiro:
-Japan Meteorological Agency
(13988 kHz)
-Korea Meteorological Administration
(13570 kHz)
-Shanghai Meteorological Bureau
(12382 kHz)
Note: I added the little hand to make it easier to locate the typhoon on the charts.
Among the three, the one with the strongest signal was the Shanghai radio station, even being 18,235 km away from Rio de Janeiro and I’m in a densely urbanized area.
