Nice!  You should be able to get a nice RX of Chile & Hamburg if you're grabbing Northwood that well.  If you grab Chile please post a pic - I have never ever copied them without a slight "slant" of the entire fax.  I have tried everything & am convinced its on their end.  Also, I haven't heard Cape Naval in a few years though I try often.  Mornings, Australia & New Zealand are regulars.  Winter, Kodiak & Iqaluit are nice here.
Keep up the great work!
FPE
PS - if I can figure out how to post a pic I will (help?).

Thanks FPE! Chris Smolinski's app has an excellent slant and shift adjustment control. Have you tried signing up for a free imgur account? You can upload your pics there, the click on the pic after download. It brings up the pic in large view, then just click on the BB Code(message boards and forums) "COPY" option. Then you can paste the image in here! It doesn't take up space on the HFU server. Good luck!

Thx for the heads up on the pic posting.
I use an old school Universal M-8000 so no computer to allow an app but I'm sure they work great.
Thx again & have fun.

Good luck on the imgur! Wow! I thought I was old school using an NRD-515! I remember looking at the prices on those weather fax decoders back in the 1980's and telling myself "No Way"! The Universal M-8000 are hard to come by these days!

Skipmuck - I use an ipad - that's where I have pics of WEFAXES - is there any way to just paste a pic on this thread from the photos in my ipad?
