Anyone else monitoring WWVB?

Is anyone else monitoring/recording WWVB? If so, can you please check
and see if you were receiving good data from 06/01/2023 16:24:00 to
16:49:00 UTC?

My 100 Hz recording is showing a flat line starting around 16:24:14,
then noise starting at about 16:26:08, and back to solid copy at 16:48:51.

The signal looks really clean both before and after this time period,
which doesn't fit with atmospheric disturbances. Same timeframe
yesterday was clean, too.

Here's a (472 kB) text dump of the hour in question:

thanks!

This plot taken in Boulder shows a clear drop-out today between the times you mentioned:

There is an outage page that doesn't (yet) indicate any anomaly, but maybe the page just hasn't been updated yet:
