** U S A. 9395, 9955, 15770, 17790, Feb 20 at 1543, NO signals from
WRMI, because: https://www.facebook.com/wrmiradio
``WRMI Radio Miami International --- Important Notice: On Thursday,
February 20, Florida Power and Light Company will be connecting new
transformers for WRMI. This is the end of a months-long process to
replace the station's original transformers, which date from the late
1970's. The new transformers have been installed, and this should
provide more reliable electrical power and fewer power outages.
However, on February 20 FP&L will have to remove the old transformers
using a crane, and then connect the new transformers to us. This is a
lengthy process requiring a lot of equipment and personnel, so they
told us to expect to be without power from approximately 1300 to 2200
UTC. During this time we will be off the air on all frequencies,
except possibly 7730 kHz and our 9955 kHz live stream (www.wrmi.net).
We will return to the air on all frequencies as soon as the work is
finished. Thanks for your understanding.`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. 1520, Feb 20 at 0745 UT, C&W mixing with KOKC talk at almost
equal level, quickly IDing as KRHW. That`s Sikeston MO, U7
5000/1600/CH 5000. U7 means three different direxional antenna
patterns. Normally inaudible at night here, as night pattern is very
tight north/south from SE MO.
https://radio-locator.com/cgi-bin/pat?call=KRHW&service=AM&h=N
Day pattern is much broader yet with a notch toward OKC. Maybe we are
far enough away from that angle.
https://radio-locator.com/cgi-bin/pat?call=KRHW&service=AM&h=D
Critical hours pattern similar to day, but not so deep a notch:
https://radio-locator.com/cgi-bin/pat?call=KRHW&service=AM&h=C
Radio locator shows address a PO box in Mt Vernon IL, which is nowhere
near Sikeston MO: 171 km = 106 stmi apart (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
UNIDENTIFIED. 810.58, Feb 20 at 0710 and still 0748 UT, JBA carrier
hetting 810.00 WHB is back; had not heard it for a few nights since

100/280 degrees from Enid, or slightly more clockwise (Glenn Hauser,
