Its that time of the year when the Geo Synced birds get the sun in line with
them and the signal from the birds go away in the rcvrs for a while due to
the solar "noise" created from the sun.

 

The window starts around ~1:30PM today CT..sooooo if your sat receiver quits
working, now you know.wait about 15 mins or so.it will return!! :-)

 

All broadcast stations using Galaxy G5 or similar need to have back up
sources (ISDN or otherwise) for the downtime..
