I suspect the controllers just didn't know. I've been involved in exchanges
where someone asks whether the XXX VOR is out of service, and
the controller says "not as far as I know" so a bunch of pilots try it
and all report it u/s. The controller says "thanks, I'll report that".
After all, nobody actually uses NDBs - certainly not that one -
except for practice approaches.

Were you able to positively identify the Morse Code identifier? If so,
there may well have been something screwy with the avionics in the a/c.
Or
perhaps the signal was weak, or being interfered with.

Negative. I got neither a needle indication or was I able
to ID the station audibly. (but was able to get others).

Everything points to the station being the problem,
not the box in my A/C, but again, there were no notams
and I was cleared for that approach.
