Does anyone have any suggestions as to why WCO was not working?

NB: Aircraft ADF was definitely working as could ID and track both HEN and CHT.
I was doing practice approaches Wednesday on 03 at Cranfield. I couldn't ident or track WCO either, but could get CIT. I reported it on RT to Cranfield Approach, who thought it should have been serviceable.

Report these things, or nothing'll get done.
