As of this writing, CHU is off the air on 14670 as well.

Guess they ran out of time.

I have read that some time stations have ceased operation, most noteably,
the one in Australia.

According to a ham radio source in Canada, The 2003 NorthEastern
Regional blackout power surge thru the CA grid which apparently damaged
equipment
at their Ottawa facility. Apparently just before
the power fully cut out, there was a massive surge
which damaged sensitive equipment(s). There was not
a way to confirm the damage untill after power was
restored.

If CHu is down, that could spell a great opportunity for Dxers to
catch Ondas del Huallega on 3330 kHz without having to flip the
reciever into LSB to cover it from aside from the CHU signal.

Did CHU really have that good of a signal on 3330?

Living west of the rockies here near Vancouver, I have never heard it
there even on the quietest winter night with a three element 80M wire beam
at a buds house and a Drake R7 :-\

Here in Pennsylvania, I could get CHU more reliably than WWV with a poor
antenna. I don't know where Ondas del Huallega is, but it's a good bet CHU
would have covered them.
