Carlos is Making an Illustrated Radiofax Scrapbook

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

Since the pandemic, I’ve been receiving news in Brazil from the Japanese agency Kyodo News, transmitted by radiofax. From now on, I’ll print the radiofax and paste them into this scrapbook, illustrating one or more news items.

I love it, Carlos! You’ll fill that book quickly with the number of decodes you log each year!

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.
