Looks like they tweaked the signal and thought it was too strong. At ~13Z,they clearly bumped the signal strength down per Jose Nieves' graph. I am now seeing these stats on my noaaport.admin.niu.edu server:
Frequency: 1193.500000
SymbolRate: 6.349000
LNBFault: ok
SignalLock: on
DataLock: on
SignalStrength%: 77
VBER: 0.00e+00
Errors: 0
ErrorRate: 0
DemodulatorGain: 79
NoiseEstimate: 11
DataSyncLoss: 0
ClockOffset: 30
FrequencyError: 0
Put these two tabs side by side in IE8/Firefox 3.63:

Note: the dropouts I had over the past few days was to install a new
kernel and do other maintenance on the server. But as of 13Z, UNIDATA is
clearly losing data. College of Dupage's VBER on their receiver actually
went to1 x 10 ^ -5, now they're back to 1 x 10 ^ -2 and getting virtually
nothing.
When a 3.8 meter dish certified by the NWS is losing data, something is wrong. Who can I pass this information along to so they can correct it?
