Mingus Mtn have been off the air since Saturday, December 15th.
 
KUDF ch 14 analog is off the air, I haven't seen anything in digital yet. Strange they would shut down the analog down before going digital.

Ch 50 Flagstaff applied for a license to cover for the digital flash cut, so I believe that they're on the air now.

In a flash cut, that's actually normal. Expect the station to be down for 4-5 days to a week, then be on in digital.
 
K51HV (Trinity) Mt Eldon, appears to remain off the air
and does not appear to have yet flash cut to digital.

K50HU (KPHO) Mt Eldon, did flash cut to digital, however,
their signal is much much weaker than any of the other
translators atop Mt Eldon.

K28CW-D (KUTP) Mt Eldon, was back on air in 3-4 days.

KNAZ-DT/K06AE-D were up and running in about a week.
