International news media are carrying the news regarding the transfer
of WYFR, the large shortwave station in lower central Florida, to WRMI
Radio Miami International in Miami in the United States, at the end of
this month. Due to this remarkable radio development, the
international DX program, "Wavescan", will interrupt the flow of its
regular programming to honor the occasion. The final broadcasts of
"Wavescan" over WRMI Miami will be on the air during the last complete
week in the month of November, and during the first complete week in
December, "Wavescan" will be aired for the first occasion over the
large new WRMI which is located a little north of Lake Okeechobee in
lower central Florida.
The DX program, "Wavescan" is written in Indianapolis by Dr.
Adrian Peterson, DX editor for Adventist World Radio, and it has been
produced over the past several years by Jeff White at WRMI Radio Miami
International in Miami. This program is on the air from WRMI in
Florida, KSDA on the island of Guam, and seasonally by several of the
shortwave relay stations in the AWR network, and also over WWCR and
WINB in the United States.
All reception reports to "Wavescan" for the last week in November
will be QSLed with a special "Last Week" endorsement for WRMI Miami,
and all reception reports to "Wavescan" during the first week in
December will be QSLed with a "First Week" endorsement for the new
WRMI at Okeechobee. These special endorsements will be applied to all
QSL cards issued for these special editions of "Wavescan" as heard on
any of these stations that carry the program, though, where possible
direct broadcast from the old and the new WRMI would also be
appreciated. "Wavescan" may also be heard via numerous electronic
deliveries, including station websites and iPod deliveries.
Listeners are encouraged to send their reception reports for
these broadcasts to the Wavescan address in Indianapolis with address
label and return postage, and also to the station that is carrying the
programming, and also to the address for the new WRMI. The last
edition of "Wavescan" via the old WRMI will be a special tribute to
this station, and the first broadcast from the new WRMI will honor
this new development.
