Heard about this when I was in school, during history with the cold war. Can't remember exactly what it was about or said but it was mainly used as a warning system for nuclear bombs.
As for why it's apparently 'stopped' transmitting, dunno but it could be to do with them turning it off?
It transmitted 23 hours 10 minutes a day and went under maintenance everyday at 7:00 - 7:50 EST. They might of thought it was no longer needed or was to costy to run so they decided to turn it off?
Or they could be replacing it with new equipment?
