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.
Many thanks to SWLing Post contributor Mark Hirst, who shares the following note:

This year’s theme focuses on digital safety — from phishing scams to AI-driven fraud and disinformation — and they’re inviting listeners to share how safe they feel from online threats, what personal steps they take to protect themselves, and what society should do to strengthen collective defenses.
You can send your thoughts by email ([email protected]), Facebook, or even as a voice message via WhatsApp (+40 744 312 650). Selected contributions may be broadcast on the day. Full details here: https://www.rri.ro/en/useful-information-en/useful-information/2025-listeners-day-on-rri-id935924.html
