trace of modulation, which happens too often late at night; and as
usual frequency slightly offset minus. Normally they play a nice wide
variety of music (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

NAm & SAm SNR frequencies on air for token English on Wed. About same
level, S9/+10. The // to ME 15520 about same S but sounds better off
the back, lower MUF trumping azimuths. By Oct a lower band for us
should be more reliable at this hour, but they wait until B-seasons to
plunge to 9690 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** TURKEY [and non]. 11785.006+, Oct 9 at 2158, VOT not off the air,

somewhat more northerly path vs the auroral zone. At 2233 into UTwente

** U S A. 17790, 15770, 9455, 9395, Oct 9 at 1900, NO signals direct
from WRMI frequencies normally active now, as Hurricane Milton is
closing in. It seems that one must consult disgraced FB for latest
station info rather than own website! Several of our monitors had just
checked that; Mike Cooper copied this at 1843: ``WRMI Facebook posts
during the past two hours:
`Hurricane Milton Update as of 1645 UTC Wednesday October 9: We are
starting to get some wind gusts here at the transmitter site in
Okeechobee, and there are two tornadoes fairly close to us that we are
watching carefully. So far our transmitters are operating normally,
but we anticipate we will have to shut them down in the coming hours
as winds get stronger here. We will try to maintain our livestream at
www.wrmi.net. Thanks to everyone who has emailed us, texted, called,
etc. with your good wishes.
Hurricane Milton Update as of 1825 UTC Wednesday October 9: There are
tornado warnings in effect for the area of our transmitter site in
Okeechobee, and at least one confirmed tornado sighting. And winds are
getting quite high. So we are shutting down all transmitters now until
further notice. Our Internet stream should remain on the air. So far
we still have electrical power.
1835 UTC Wednesday Oct 9: Our frequency of 7730 kHz remains on air, as
well as our www.wrmi.net stream. Power went out briefly, but has
returned.```
I check FB at 2317 and find only one more entry: ``1838 UTC Wednesday:
Power has gone out again at the transmitter site. Only our Internet
stream remains``
