Ah, Villains!  :D That was my second assumption.
My first was possibly storms down their way causing them to be down.

Can you say broken?  Due to the fact there is no longer a need to know what SW propagation is... the system will no longer be maintained...  We now return you to the next Ice Age :-)

They all seem to go on and off a lot, sometimes off for days.

I use this site as a backup for current MUFs, although I do miss the graphs:

LOL! You pass the State Pen on the way into State College. Penn State has been known as "State Pen" by generations of PSU's rival schools and is most appropriate when it comes to the antics that finally came to light up there that occurred for decades around the football program and it's cover-up.
