All the weather stations on VOLMET New York Radio is missing!

Must be a technical problem. I'm recording now and will update when I get it uploaded to Youtube.

Gander just came on- everything fine. Now let's see what NYR says when it comes back... :)

Never heard this before- found it quite funny to tell you the truth.

This is at 2245z @ 3-28-11.

Yup I've heard that before as well. Computer must have blue screened :D
The same thing can happen with other volmets too. Here is Guangzhou volmet giving "no report" for most airports.

If memory serves, NY Volmet is only on at 00 and 30 mins past the hour. If they have nothing to report, I suppose they don't turn the xmtrs on...although I have heard them give a city name and say 'no report'....best regards..Mike

Well, it's like the missing at an AWOS. The data is just not there- so simply it says missing instead of turning it off.

Guess something really screwed up on that, internet went down? That'd be my guess.

It's French for "Flying Weather"

A broadcast of aviation weather, usually thought of at HF. Most popular here are New York Radio and Gander. Check the HF section for more info.
Thank You! and thanks for making me feel like a DORK! I guess pilot types have a lingo of their own!!

I listened to NY VOLMET at about 3:30 utc and got nothing but "missing" for each city. I came back about an hour later and it was fine again. I wonder what what problem they having.
