The
forecast track of Hurricane Irma, as received by Klaus in Germany, 3 September
2017, 2354 UTC, 11580 kHz via WRMI Florida. WRMI will feel the effects if Irma
this weekend.

The Mighty KBC will change its North America frequency this weekend. Please see details below.
This may be a difficult weekend for Shortwave Radiogram. Hurricane
Irma is forecast to move up the middle of Florida, and will likely be a major
hurricane as it passes near Okeechobee, site of WRMI’s transmitters. The outer
bands will reach WRMI for the Sunday 0600 UTC broadcast, while the eye will be
near Okeechobee during the 2030 and 2330 UTC transmissions.
If you don’t hear Shortwave Radiogram on its WRMI frequencies,
that will probably be the reason. We wish Jeff and his colleagues the best of
luck during this challenge. And our thoughts are with Shortwave Radiogram
listeners in the affected regions, including Florida, Georgia, Alabama, and
Tennessee.
Another reason you might not be able to hear Shortwave Radiogram
this weekend is solar events, which are forecast to affect radio
communications. See the NOAA Space
Weather Prediction Center for updates.
Here is the
lineup for Shortwave Radiogram, program 12, 9-10 September 2017, all
