Ich weiß zwar nicht wie die Bedingungen aus NoAM über den Atlantik hinweg
heute früh waren,
aber die exact 5800 kHz als zusätzlicher Reservesender bei
WRMI Okeechobee Florida USA
war in den letzten circa 6 Wochen schon öfters in West Europa zu hören.
Und dies meist mit Musikprogrammen. Viel stärker als die 5950 kHz von dort.

Heute kam dieser aktuelle Hinweis:

WRMI Florida posted this update re approaching Hurricane Dorian : Thanks to
those who have sent messages of concern about Hurricane Dorian, which is
currently headed almost right toward our Okeechobee transmitter site. We are
of course watching the situation and making all of our preparations. Please
note that when the high winds begin to affect our area, our transmission
lines will probably flap around and hit together, causing arcing which could
damage the transmitters. So at that point we will probably have to shut all
transmitters down until the hurricane passes in order to minimize damage.
This could begin on Sunday evening, as we see it right now. We may be able
to maintain our test frequency of 5800 kHz on the air even when the other
transmitters are down and even if there is a power outage. We will keep you
updated.
