"1849 UTC Sunday December 15: A Florida Power and Light investigator finally showed up here, 13 hours after the power went out. There is a definite transformer blown, and they need to get a specialist repair team here to fix it. However, there is a very large colony of bees inside the small building where the transformer is located, so they have to get the FPL bee team to get rid of the bees before they can work on the transformer. Realistically, they say it's likely to be tomorrow (Monday) before they can possibly repair the transformer. This means that transmitters #3-10 will be off the air until at least late Monday. We have put transmitter 2 (7730 kHz) on the air at low power with a generator. Transmitters 11-14 have power and will be on as of 2200 UTC today. We may switch frequencies on some of them. Stand by for updates."
