WAEB HD Off-Air??

I

Interstate 78

Could someone w/ an HD radio tell me if WAEB FM's HD stations are off-the-air? I usually like listening to WAEB-AM static free on WAEB-FM HD-3, but the past few days, I can't get the sub channels at all, when I have with no problem in the past. HD radio actually benefits me where I live because I can't get WAEB-AM clearly, but up until now, I can get WAEB-FM HD-3, where they simulcast WAEB-AM, very clearly. I hope they haven't cut their HD feeds.

I do wish, though, they'd put something better on the HD-2 channel. The goofy hits/dance format, whatever it is, does nothing for me. I can't see them gaining any listeners through that. It's too much like B-104.
 
It probably has something to do with the rain. HD broadcasting is dependent on using GPS, which is doesn't work to well on cloudy and rainy days.

One wonders how many have bothered to contact the station about this...seeing the troubles from overseas (where DAB had a head start to the USA) I suspect not too many care about anything other than the AM-to-FM simulcast.
