Title: Reception time
Post by: Matt285 on January 08, 2020, 1249 UTC

How long does it typically take to receive a standard weather fax? Thanks

My two cents:
Anywhere from 5 to about 20 minutes depending on what is being transmitted- a landscape oriented fax from New Orleans (NMG) that covers about from the west coast of Africa to middle of the USA could take 20 minutes start to end.
Hope that helps you.

Thanks. That gives a good representation of what to expect time wise.
