Northwood Weatherfax

British weatherfax station Northwood broadcasting on 8040 khz. There is a 1 khz frequency offset for better reception on the decoder software. Received at 04.04.2010 at 17:15 gmt in Brunswick Germany. Very clear reception of the transmission. Receiver DRT-1 by Sat Schneider; antenna 25m longwire; software G8JCFSDR for frequency selection and Multipsk for decoding the signal.

Have fun!

@fasthandslow

There are about 40 different Olivia modes. As far as I know Multipsk decodes "only" 5 or 6 of them. So may be, that you are unlucky and trying to decode those modes, that Multipsk can not work at the moment.

Cool. I can't get MultiPSK to decode faxes.

Setting up multipsk isn't simple. Thousands and millions of buttons on the screen. So many features in a powerful program. Did you get the settings for the soundcard right? When you get it working, it is realy fun and it allows you to decode many many signals even in the free version. Do you use it with a SDR Radio, or do you use a classic receiver?

Have fun!

I'm using a PC radio. I did get it to work finally. What I thought was the Fax part of the broadcast was actually RTTY, so after somebody informed me of that I was able to get the settings on MultiPSK right. : )
