![]() Jeff White reports on behalf of the National Association of Shortwave Broadcasters (NASB): "I just got a call from Evelyn Marcy, Dan Elyea's secretary at WYFR in Okeechobee. She said that Dan wanted me to let the Board know that there has been extensive damage at the transmitter site from Hurricane Jeanne. All power is out. Power poles are broken in half across Route 98, reducing it to one lane. When Hurricane Frances hit three weeks ago, part of the roof of the transmitter building was torn off, and this time even more was torn off. They have not been able to do an assessment of damage to the transmitters and antenna field yet, but the towers are still standing. (They have 14 transmitters at this site.) There are rumours that it will take at least three weeks to restore power in the area, so WYFR is probably going to be off the air for some time. I will let you know if I get any updates."
