Hello Kyle,
Weather Fax broadcasts are not voice broadcasts.The transmitting station is sending a picture which when completely received is a weather map.These are sent on short wave frequencies,so if your radio is an AM/FM broadcast radio only,you are out of luck. You will need a weather fax unit which includes the printer.You must manually put rolls of paper in the machine. For the North Pacific,the USCG at San Fran,Honolulu and Kodiak AK transmit weather maps. Can't help you with times or frequencies as it's been 9 years since I retired from working in the Bering Sea. Along the US coasts you can get FM voice weather broadcasts from the weather service with a marine VHF radio,but the range is limited. Offshore,you can get AM weather broadcasts from WWV but I dont recall the times.This are also short wave broadcasts on 2.500,5.000,10.000,15.000,and 20.000 Mhz. When I was working,the most popular WXFAX machine was made by FURUNO.The station,times and freq of broadcasts are included in the operators manual. Good luck finding what you need/want Joe W7KQU |
