Has anyone been able to pick up USCG (NMG) New Orleans wefax or HF voice broadcasts in the past week or so?...I normally am able to receive and download their nightly wefax maps on 8205 or 4316, but no joy for a week now?...I still get USCG Chesapeake HF voice (8764) and USCG Boston wefax (4235) but nothing from USCG New Orleans, including no NAVTEX...any info? thoughts?

Its there for me but comes and goes. That high K index spike yesterday sort of killed everything.

Just received NMG weather facsimile on 8502khz usb. Received at 0226utc. Signal was strong. I heard a broadcast on frequency I cant remember yesterday in voice mode stating that the system was down for maintenance/repairs.

...thanks for the info, that would make sense since i wasn't getting any voice, wefax, or navtex on any of their frequencies for a week...73!
