Marine Weather

Marine Radio Weather Broadcasts
weather bulletins received free via SSB

Weather Information is transmitted by speech, text and fax on the HF bands.

If you have access to a good quality SSB receiver or an SSB transceiver, then you should be able to receive these transmissions. To decode weather fax and text message you will need to have a computer and appropriate software.

There are a number of software packages available, doing an internet search for ‘weather fax software’ will usually bring up several popular software packages.

The main issue is getting the audio out of the SSB receiver into the computer. Some software packages do this by using the microphone input into the computer and there are some software packages that use a dedicated modem.

A Pactor modem can also be used for decoding weather-fax and text (RTTY and Navtext) broadcast, using a software package called Getfax.

Coastguard Voice Broadcasts

Around Europe coastguards broadcast weather and navigational warning in voice on MF frequencies.

Weather Fax Broadcast

Weather picture charts are transmitted by HF radio from a number of stations around the world.

The technology used for sending weather fax is rather old slow analogue facsimile media and each picture can takes several minutes (10 minutes) to receive.

Being an analogue transmission means that the picture quality can vary depending on radio propagation and local interference at the receiving station.
