Typhoon Halong: Three Radiofaxes from Three Meteorological Offices

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

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

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.

Update: Shanghai Meteorological Bureau for (today) October 9, 2025
