HF-FAX

February 12, 2008 | General | By: Mark VandeWettering

Well, I was playing around with cocoaModem a bit more, and decided to try to decode some of the HF-FAX images sent by the station here in Point Reyes. The quality isn’t quite what I would imagine it should be, and there were a number of sync issues, so I’m not sure what’s going on here. But here’s the very first image I decoded: the bar in the center is when I tried to shift it into DIGITAL mode on the FT-817, which didn’t work very well.

Hi Mark,

Honestly, I get receive the HF-FAX images on board APL container ships from both the paper weatherfax and electronic weatherfax units, and they don’t look any better…
