Wasup with BR NOAA WX transmitter??

[SCPD]

Seems the BR NOAA WX TX on 162.400 has been down for a couple days? Sure would of been nice with the bad WX we had lastnight "tornado warning". Anybody got any news on it?

Any details as to what happend? Seems odd that it would be down this long unless they had antenna or feedline issues. Must be major!
