Our Ku-band seems to have signal (the light flashes) and the authorization
light is green, but no chart headers/trailers appear to come out.  Data is
coming out, but I'm wondering if it's just noise, i.e., maybe the phone
company disconnected their feed from NWS and we're just seeing noise from
an open wire.  The last chart we started to receive was #201 for Oct 9,
2000.  RIP?
