Last night I logged several HF Weather Fax transmission from the DWD Pinneberg Weather Station, in Germany.
Now, I was almost inactive since the coronavirus pandemic and decided to start listening to the radio again. So I am trying to revive this blog and share my reception radio logs again.
While I am still trying to overcome a recurring and annoying technical issue in receiving fax on my laptop, the web receiver in Germany came handy. Though this will be almost a local reception for this web rx, but still the reception was not that good for what it should be.
DWD Pinneberg - Hamburg, Germany:
This is a weather Fax station operated by the Deutscher Wetterdienst (DWD). The station is located in Pinneberg, which is located about 20 Km northwest of Hamburg in Germany.
The station mainly targets mariners and other users of weather data, and broadcasts marine weather reports, weather maps or fax/ facsimile and texts in radio teletype mostly over shortwave and longwave.
Date: Match 25, 2025
Location: Howrah, WB. India.
Time: 1400 UTC onwards.
Receiver: Remote receiver at Germany
Station: DWD Radio Pinneberg, Germany
The transmission was received with a poor to fair signal. While I think the image was well received, the signal was not enough for a clear - readable picture. After the broadcast schedules (I'm not posting here), DWD transmitted their regular and Ice Charts for North Atlantic, Baltic and adjoining region.
Thank you so much for your kind attention. Comments, suggestions and correction (if required), will be very much appreciated.
