Hudson Valley WWLE is missing

Cornwall’s 1170 WWLE has been off the air for the last few days. Can anyone pick up their 5 watt translator on 100.1?

I never knew they had a translator, but I am hearing Radio Woodstock loud and clear on 100.1 in Walden which is probably 10 air miles from their AM transmitter in Vails Gate. I don't know if the translator is there or elsewhere

The translator is on the south WWLE tower, but mounted only 3 meters above ground level, if it was installed according to the license.

WWLE AM is on the air this morning (sunrise-sunset day timer). In Newburgh its signal is clear and as strong as WBNR 1260 and stronger that the interference infected 10,000 watt giant WGNY.
 
WWLE update: Tuesday 9am and the carrier is on but it is broadcasting only noise. Kind of a pulsating mechanical noise. I was 3 miles from the transmitter. Switching to 100.1 I heard only WDST and because of its normally poor signal could not determine if the translator was on
