Rx NOAA HF Weather Transmissions

[WQ2H]

Very good conditions recently for Rx the NOAA HF transmissions, especially on 33m (9110 kHz). Some of the maps in the last few weeks are the best I've ever received.

For those interested in giving it a try - here is the transmitter schedule. I find (here in New Hampshire) Boston the best, then Nova Scotia a distant second. I use the SeaTTY decoder. Attached are some images I received on 33m. Good luck.

The transmissions on 9119 kHz are the U.S. Coast Guard/NMF Boston (transmitters at Camp Edwards wildlife area, MA 41°42'45"N 70°30'9"W) not NOAA. They simply transmit some NOAA HF stuff. The linked schedule shows other non-NOAA transmisions (as your attachment shows). The USCG does them primarily to alert vessels of icebergs etc. So really they are USCG rather than NOAA HF though NOAA assists. Your probably know that but it did not wuite read that way.

I know we're close to Boston - but the transmissions have been excellent the last few weeks.

I just let SeaTTY run and check them all out when I get home from work.

Nice image OM. FAX is sure fun.

Steven Handler authored a book entitled Just The FAX, a very good reference for WEFAX frequencies and locations. Universal Radio sold 'em.

Of course I made at least one typo--was meant to be 9110 kHz.
