Hellofriends, Shortwave is often marketed as providing the ability to “hear news as it happens". Last Sunday,Shortwave Radiogram listeners heard news as it happened. WRMI in Florida was able to stay on the air for much of Sunday, despite the approach of Hurricane Irma.Listeners tuned in to the 2030 UTC airplay of Shortwave Radiogram heard the opening waterfall ID, announcements, and a few seconds of MFSK32 before WRMI went off the air at about 2033 UTC. Presumably this is when WRMI lost its commercial electric power. Power has been restored at the WRMI transmitting site near Okeechobee, but only some of the antennas have been repaired. As I type this, WRMI’s 7730 and 11580 kHz frequencies, which would be used for Shortwave Radiogram on Sunday, are not yet back on the air. WRMI’s Internet connection also has not be restored, so I am unable to upload the program. It’s therefore possible that Shortwave Radiogram will not be available Sunday via WRMI.

Listeners in the Americas can tune in to Shortwave Radiogram Saturday at 1600 UTC on 9400kHz, via Bulgaria, using the University of Twente receiver in the Netherlands: http://websdr.ewi.utwente.nl:8901 Audio of this weekend’s program 13 is also available here: https://soundcloud.com/voaradiogram/shortwave-radiogram-program-13-15-16-sept-2017 Even if Shortwave Radiogram is available on your favorite shortwave frequency, HF propagation might be poor.
