Is AOR-W still operational?

My Garmin 76CS has, in the past, shown satellite numbers 47 (POS) and 35 (AOR-W) from my location here near Portland, Oregon, when I have WAAS enabled.
A few days ago I noticed that 35 was missing from the list of visible satellites, with just an underscore (_) in the 12th position, and it didn't show up on the satellite map. Today the underscore was gone. Only 47 is now shown on the list or the satellite map.
Normally I leave WAAS turned off because it's really useless here where the WAAS satellites are so low on the horizon -- small hills, houses, or trees are enough to kill WAAS reception, and I'm almost never at a place where at least one of these isn't present. But I turn it on from time to time out of curiosity. It's gotten 35 and 47 about equally well (poorly) until 35 disappeared from the list.
Is 35 missing because of some satellite malfunction, some malfunction of my GPSr, because the satellite has now decided it's not visible from here, or just because I might have had the GPSr on for a few hours from locations where 35 couldn't be seen?
