A nice HF-Fax picture from Tokyo

Last night I decided to give a try to JMH HF-Fax service. I only got this nice picture at 1930 UTC on the highest (13988 kHz) JMH frequency:

13988.5 kHz, 1930z
24HR SURFACE PRESSURE, WIND, FOG, ICING, SEA ICE PROG

The following transmissions were noisy so 1930z sets a limit for the reception on 14 MHz from Japan to my Location.

Very nice reception. I can receive same quality at about 6200 miles, but I believe your further. When I hit on Tokyo at good reception, I can also receive Wiluna AU.

Thanks! This reminds me the good days back at 2001 when we had some sunspots and I had very good images from Tokyo.

I can log AU also during the local afternoons. I suspect the sunset line passes over AU and enhances reception.
