"Frequency outage", I think that translates to radio communications not working, until "22 Zulu" aka 22:00 UTC, 5 PM ET.

Microsoft outage related??
What are all the possible reasons to do this?
Has this ever happened?
A credible threat from Iran? More likely a technical issue.
Happened in 2023 https://www.faa.gov/newsroom/faa-notam-statement
It happened on 9/11, didn’t it?
yes, 9/11
