Shortwave Broadcast / REE off air?

« on: December 10, 2019, 2249 UTC »

For the past two days I have not been able to receive REE, highly unusual.  All four frequencies (9690, 11940, 11635, and 12030) are silent here.  Though, 12030 almost sounded as if there might have been a cw transmission at times.  I checked the web page but couldn't find any information relating to planned/unplanned maintenance.  The broadcast can be heard on their website.  Anyone hear anything about the radio silence?
