WRMI 15770 AM off air (again) at 1300 utc 22 Jun 2022
« on: June 22, 2022, 1314 UTC »


I was listening to WRMI's Radio Liberty (Russian Service) on 15770 in the 1200 utc hour, it included numerous American pop tunes including "Last Train to Clarksville".  At 1300 utc the broadcast stopped and nothing came on - dead air for 15 minutes as of now, there is a broadcast scheduled. 

Earlier this week a transmitter problem knocked them off the air for a couple hours on this frequency at this time, perhaps again.
Tecsun H501x (broadcast received on this unless noted), Zenith T/O G500, Zenith T/O Royal 7000, Emerson AR-176, Zenith 8S154, T/O 7G605 (Bomber), Tecsun PL-600, Tecsun PL-880, Zenith 5S320, Realistic DX 160 using 40 feet of copper wire.  With apologies to Senator Gramm for his thoughts on firearms, "I have more radios than I need but not as many as I want."
QTH:  Durham, Connecticut (rural setting, 15 miles north of Long Island Sound)

Penguins have taken control of their antenna arrays. Penguins are long roosters, they like to get a good feed in. When the gators and pythons are thinned out ,the penguins will move along.
