[AWIPS #MOM-689702]: Lightning data from local feed

Hi Tiffany - no luck with this new format.

Where did you get that format btw??

Notice that the pqact entry is generic and doesn’t specify a nomenclature for 
the file that is submitted. It only shows what the file will look like when it 
get stored in /awips2/data_store/lightning

We'd like to pursue the pqact method since it *should* work and rendering in 
CAVE will be implicit based on polarity and should fall under the 
already-present NLDN menu in CAVE's "Surface" menu.

As a reminder we are documenting how to do all of this and once we are finished 
we would like to provide a doc to you or at least let people know we have one 
they can use on the awips2 mailing list.

Pete
