| 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."
