The last time I was able to connect to the drats.com ratflector was Thursday afternoon (Oct 22nd).
I know this because I had to reconfigure my modem ports after a network outage and reset. I couldn't connect to our ARES/SKYWARN ratflector from outside the network but was able to connect to the KK7DS drat.com ratflector.
