1730 UTC Monday December 16: Well folks, we are off the air again (except for 7730 kHz, which is on a generator), as Florida Power and Light has delivered a new transformer for us and they are installing it now. As soon as it is installed, we should have everything back on the air in the coming hours.

0800 UTC Monday December 16: A crew of four Florida Power & Light electricians was here at WRMI all night long, fixing one of the two transformers that supply the power for transmitters 1-10. As of about an hour ago, we are back on our regular schedule again. There is still a bad transformer that needs to be replaced, probably later today, but we can operate with one of the two transformers until the other comes online. We may have to shut down briefly when the other transformer is installed, but we are basically back on schedule again until further notice. Thanks to FPL cable splitter James and his crew for their hard work overnight, and thanks to our listeners for bearing with us during this difficult circumstance.

0115 UTC Monday December 16: A Florida Power and Light truck is here now, and another is on its way. Together, the crew thinks they can repair the electrical transformer. But we don't know how long it will take. Meantime, a professional bee removal company has eliminated that problem. At the moment, we have 7730, 9395, 5850, 7780 and 5950 kHz on the air, plus our Internet stream which airs the 9955 kHz programming. Hopefully the others will be back soon. Thanks for your patience.

1849 UTC Sunday December 15: A Florida Power and Light investigator finally showed up here, 13 hours after the power went out. There is a definite transformer blown, and they need to get a specialist repair team here to fix it. However, there is a very large colony of bees inside the small building where the transformer is located, so they have to get the FPL bee team to get rid of the bees before they can work on the transformer. Realistically, they say it's likely to be tomorrow (Monday) before they can possibly repair the transformer. This means that transmitters #3-10 will be off the air until at least late Monday. We have put transmitter 2 (7730 kHz) on the air at low power with a generator. Transmitters 11-14 have power and will be on as of 2200 UTC today. We may switch frequencies on some of them. Stand by for updates.

1600 UTC Sunday December 15: We are still without power in most of our transmitter building. Florida Power and Light has promised several times to send a crew out to investigate and repair the problem, but no one has arrived, and no one has been able to give us any information by telephone either. This is very unusual, as we generally have very few power outages here, and they are usually very short if they occur. But they are totally absent now. Hopefully they will respond soon. Meanwhile, all frequencies are off the air at this time.

0645 UTC Sunday: There has been a large explosion, probably of one or more transformers, at the WRMI transmitter building which occurred at approximately 0415 UTC Sunday. Electrical power is out to most of our building, and most of our transmitters are off the air. We still have power for transmitters #11-14 (which are 7570, 5850, 7780 and 5010 kHz. 7570 kHz is scheduled to be off the air until Sunday evening, but the other three frequencies will be on the air until at least their normal sign-off at 1500 UTC Sunday. Florida Power and Light is sending a crew to our site as soon as possible to determine the exact cause of the problem and to repair it. We'll update you as soon as we have more information.
