Default WYFR may be off the air for some weeks


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."
