No hf WEFAX????

I have been listening and copying charts and maps from station "NMF" out of Boston, Ma for a long time. Recently there is NOTHING on their frequencies, no activity. I am in Rhode Island and usually can copy them pretty good on 4.233.10 and 6.338.60 using my IC 7300 and G5RV. I checked ALL their frequencies but nothing to hear. Their website doesnt mention anything about being off the air or anything. Maybe someone on here has idea?

Power failure or antenna / transmitter maintenance come to mind. A post on the UDXF reflector should bring specific answers

Yesterday Monday (06.06.2022) I could receive NMF Boston on 9110kHz (9108.1 kHz USB) and kHz (12748.1 kHz USB) here in Germany with a weak signal.

I have heard random transmissions but reception is lousey for some reason. I live about 60 miles south west of NMF and it normally comes in very strong. They were transmitting from about 10am local time to dusk very regularly. But now I hardly hear them. Cant figure out why.

My reception here in Baltimore is pretty much all or nothing, and I rarely receive legible charts on anything but the 6 and 9 mhz transmissions, but when it works, it works.

Caught some charts on the 4 MHz Boston tx today before the storms hit...I don't usually leave the radio on that spot because of a local interference issue, but when it comes through, it's booming...
