The international radiofax transmission standard is 120 lines per minute, but the Kyodo News standard is 60 lines per minute.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">However, the retransmission of the bulletin in English is done at a cadence of 120 lpm. I&#8217;m using an Android application called HF Weather Fax with which I&#8217;m decoding the radio signal coming from Japan and received in Porto Alegre, Brazil. The receiver is the Xhdata D-808 and the antenna is a magnetic loop. The image arrived this morning in Porto Alegre, at 4:10 am local time, quite noisy and with a lot of effort I managed to decipher some headlines.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/swling.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/News-Agency-Fax-1.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-57665\" src=\"https:\/\/swling.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/News-Agency-Fax-1.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1400\" height=\"1207\" srcset=\"https:\/\/swling.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/News-Agency-Fax-1.jpeg 1400w, https:\/\/swling.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/News-Agency-Fax-1-300x259.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/swling.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/News-Agency-Fax-1-1024x883.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/swling.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/News-Agency-Fax-1-768x662.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/swling.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/News-Agency-Fax-1-624x538.jpeg 624w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1400px) 100vw, 1400px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/swling.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Screenshot_20230829-165502-01.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-57666\" src=\"https:\/\/swling.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Screenshot_20230829-165502-01-666x1024.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"450\" height=\"692\" srcset=\"https:\/\/swling.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Screenshot_20230829-165502-01-666x1024.jpeg 666w, https:\/\/swling.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Screenshot_20230829-165502-01-195x300.jpeg 195w, https:\/\/swling.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Screenshot_20230829-165502-01-624x959.jpeg 624w, https:\/\/swling.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Screenshot_20230829-165502-01.jpeg 720w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 450px) 100vw, 450px\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/swling.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Screenshot_20230829-165457-01.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-57668\" src=\"https:\/\/swling.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Screenshot_20230829-165457-01.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"450\" height=\"661\" srcset=\"https:\/\/swling.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Screenshot_20230829-165457-01.jpeg 720w, https:\/\/swling.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Screenshot_20230829-165457-01-204x300.jpeg 204w, https:\/\/swling.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Screenshot_20230829-165457-01-697x1024.jpeg 697w, https:\/\/swling.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Screenshot_20230829-165457-01-624x917.jpeg 624w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 450px) 100vw, 450px\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/swling.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Screenshot_20230829-165507-01.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-57667\" src=\"https:\/\/swling.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Screenshot_20230829-165507-01.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"450\" height=\"801\" srcset=\"https:\/\/swling.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Screenshot_20230829-165507-01.jpeg 720w, https:\/\/swling.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Screenshot_20230829-165507-01-169x300.jpeg 169w, https:\/\/swling.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Screenshot_20230829-165507-01-576x1024.jpeg 576w, https:\/\/swling.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Screenshot_20230829-165507-01-624x1110.jpeg 624w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 450px) 100vw, 450px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Many thanks to\u00a0SWLing Post contributor, Carlos Latuff, who writes: Kyodo News is a Japanese news agency, the only one in the world that still transmits news via radiofax to Japanese vessels, on shortwave frequency of 16971 kHz USB.
