I was listening to 11760 but they appear to be off the air as of now (1700z) even though they should still be on. Hmm...
OK, back on now. No idea if that was planned or not.
-
It was Pedro ;)!
-
I've seen reports on Facebook that the carrier was present but no audio, as if maybe the power was out at the studio but not the Tx. I think it was for 11760 but can't remember unfortunately, nor the time, just that it was this morning. They said the audio came up after about 40 minutes of silence.
-
Off again as of 1741? No dead carrier, just nothing.

broadcasting on a host of other frequencies (beamed toward me, away from me, or non-directional) but not

I am tuning into 11760 AM on both the Indiana kiwi SDR and the University of Victoria SDR, and from my Spanish knowledge a OM announcer is talking about the hurricane?
Also, last night 6060 kHz and 6145 kHz were not on, guess i am gonna wait til either this Wednesday or next Sunday for the mailbag show to read my email i send to them a couple weeks ago..
