I have mine tuned on it now and will monitor it for some time.

I just caught the last portion of another fax on the same frequency:

If you didn't hear it, it might be out of range for you. I'm on the
East Coast so I might have an advantage depending on where the station
itself is located.

Uhm, I'm located in the Netherlands... If that station is transmitting
from a near-sea location it should be within ~300 km or so from my
location. I haven't received anything on that frequency since I turned
it on...

That is, if the transmitting location is in Germany of course

I continued listening so that I could receive a complete fax:

It is puzzling though. Like you, I can't find anything about the use
of this frequency for weather faxes.

Looking at the spectogram I am receiving something *far* in the noise
right now. But its way to weak to be able to get anything in an image.

I asked the gents over in the yahoo utilities forum if they had any
ideas, and one person said it was DDK7 Hamburg Meteo, Germany on 15988
khz. This makes sense, given the nature of the fax and given that I
was tuned a couple of khz below on USB, but then I'd certainly expect
you to receive it in the Netherlands. I think I'll keep digging....

That was my initial thought. I received from them quite a few times, so...

I'm puzzled too. Unless this is meant to be broadcast over longer
distances and I am located in the first hop? Not sure whether so close
this would be possible however. I have yet much to learn when it comes
to this type of propagation. f anyone on the group could fill me in on
this, that would be great!

Interesting. It must be in my part of the world then.
