We get Difax via Ku band receiver from Alden... given the recent history of
Difax from them, I thought I'd check here first to confirm whether anyone else
is having trouble getting charts. Our Ku band feed appears to have stopped
last night around 04:30Z. It looks like it started spitting a little this
morning around 15:30Z, but probably not with data as it's been stuck on chart
089 the whole time.
Arthur,
We get DIFAX via IDD and the last regular transmission was received at
0726/0425Z, except for a single product at 0621Z. Nothing since then. I
believe neither the 'lightning' or 'thunder' Alden servers are sending anything.
Also, does anyone know a date when the NWS plans to quit
producing/transmitting Difax? This whole thing seems to be a mystery.
I believe yesterday's message from Jeff Weber said 'eventually'. It would be
nice to have a firm date.
Tom
