Carlos Uncovers the Mystery Behind a Strange Radiofax from the Japan Meteorological Agency

Many thanks to SWLing Post contributor Carlos Latuff, who writes:

This is the image I received today, October 12th, at 7:10 UTC, in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, from the Japan Meteorological Agency, via radiofax (13988 kHz). It was supposed to be a satellite image, showing Tropical Storm Nakri (which will become a typhoon in the next few hours). Instead, I received this truncated image. This isn’t a radio transmission/reception error, but rather a problem with the image generation from the Japanese Himawari satellite, something I hadn’t seen before.

This is the information provided by the Japanese TV NHK website.

Carlos’ Illustrated Radio Listening Report and Recording of NHK (July 30, 2025 – Tsunami Coverage)

Many thanks to SWLing Post contributor and noted political cartoonist, Carlos Latuff, who shares the following illustrated radio listening report of a recent NHK broadcast.


Carlos notes:

When an emergency occurs, such as an earthquake or tsunami, NHK, the Japanese public broadcaster, switches its programming to exclusively news coverage of the event. Even the broadcaster’s homepage switches to a light version to reduce cell phone battery consumption.

When I received news of the tsunami, it was already after 10 p.m. in Porto Alegre, Brazil, and the propagation to Japan at that time is terrible; you couldn’t hear anything!

However, in the morning, after 4 a.m., propagation reopens, and then it was possible to monitor part of NHK’s radio coverage of the tsunami.
