WEFAX Broadcast Schedules & Document File Names
The pages below list the Weather FAX (WEFAX) document file names and broadcast schedule for USCG WEFAX broadcasts from Boston, New Orleans, & San Francisco.
- Use the WEFAX broadcast schedule to determine when the documents you want to copy will be broadcast, and the frequencies to which you should tune your SSB.
- Use the file names to request WEFAX documents via e-mail through Saildocs or the NWS FAX-Back system as discussed in The Sailors Quick-Start Guide to Sailmail, Airmail, Winlink2000.
- WEFAX broadcasts are in no way related to Sailmail or Winlink. WEFAX broadcasts are a free public service provided by the US Government, and receiving these broadcast "off the air" using your SSB and a WEFAX program like GetFAX or JVCOMM32 does not require a subscription to Sailmail, nor does it use Sailmail or Winlink connect time.
