Carlos’ Radiofax portable receiving and recording station.<\/p><\/div>\n

Many thanks to SWLing Post<\/em> contributor, Carlos Latuff, who recently shared a number of Radiofax images of Typhoon Khanun he’s decoded over the past few days–apologies as I’ve been traveling and could not post when received. Carlos writes:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Attached is a satellite image broadcasted today by Japanese meteorological agency via radiofax (7795 kHz USB), and received by me in Porto Alegre, Brazil, at 19h10 UTC.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Even with image quality compromised by the signal, it’s possible to spot powerful typhoon Khanun, approaching Okinawa, with winds of 220 km\/h.<\/p>\n

Receiver is a Xhdata D-808 with loop antenna, signal decoded by HF Weather Fax app.<\/p>\n

Also:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Tropical cyclone forecast broadcasted today by Japanese meteorological agency via radiofax (7795 kHz USB), received in Porto Alegre, Brazil, at 19h50 UTC.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Typhoon Khanun is approaching Okinawa, with winds of 220 km\/h.<\/p>\n

In addition:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Radiofax (detail) from the meteorological agency of Japan, received today at 19:50 UTC in Porto Alegre, frequency 7795 kHz (USB). In the circle, position of the powerful typhoon Khanun, in southern Japan.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Thank you for sharing these, Carlos. It’s amazing that with such simple equipment we can track and download weather events and imagery like this. Pretty amazing!<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
