Notams down?

[Bob Noel]

I was referring to the NAVAID still transmitting the Morse code. Someone has to take it off line typically. Under normal conditions there is a monitoring system back to Tech Ops that will alert if it detects a fault in the signal, but last I knew it required manual intervention to actually shut it down and take it offline.

likewise it takes a step (or 20) to turn the morse code back on.

I seem to remember being taught that if there's no Morse identifier being transmitted, it means the navaid is unusable. No idea what it takes to turn the ID on or off.
