WRMI Radio Miami International - 7570 kHz

Posted: 27 Oct 2021 08:15 PM PDT https://vk5pas.org/2021/10/28/wrmi-radio-miami-international-7570-khz/

On Thursday 21st October 2021 I did some more broadcast short wave
listening. The first station in my log was WRMI, Radio Miami
International, broadcasting on 7570 kHz.


I had previously tuned in to WRMI on 11th October on 5010 kHz, so this was
a new frequency for me for WRMI.
To read about WRMIs technical facilities, please have a look at their
webpage at
https://www.wrmi.net/index.php/about-wrmi/technical-facilities/
The WRMI property is located in an agricultural part of rural Okeechobee
County in Florida, about 2 & 1/2 hours north of Miami.


The overall reception of WRMI was good. At times the Over The Horizon
Radar

(OTHR) came on the frequency and almost wiped out their signal.

It was not a good night for listening on the tropical bands as the static crashes were terrible.

The overall reception was fair. This was mostly due to the loud static crashes.
