NMC 8681 USB - 1912 Aug 13 2023 UTC // GOES Image

Solid copy on the GOES image segment of the WeFAX broadcast from NMC Point Reyes. Received in grid square DM25 using the PK Loop Hamloop on Sangean ATS-909 original while sitting on curb of church parking lot. Bit of lightning noise from the summer monsoons causing slight static lines in the image but greatly reduced thanks to magloop. That group of clouds seen on the 110 longitude near the top of the image is what's hitting me right now.



Much prefer using shortwave to 1.6GHz

Great image. Which software did you use to decode the image? It is very sharp and well synced (no skew).

Thank you :3 I used the Wolphi LLC WeFax software on my android tablet. I can't remember how but I found the .apk directly on their website for free years ago.

Thanks. I found it at: https://www.wolphi.com/marine-apps/hf-weather-fax/

They also have other Android apps such as DroidSSTV which appear interesting.
