Title: WRMI shutting down direct transmissions due to weather
Post by: Ct Yankee on October 09, 2024, 1829 UTC
Had no reception on 15770 so I checked their website.

From their Facebook page at 1825 UTC:

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.

Update: At 1838 UTC they reported power was lost.
