Russ,

Sorry I didn't get to this yesterday.

>We would like to send a note out to ldm-users that includes
>information about how to get the NEXRAD floater, and it will mention
>Millersville and DuPage.

Sounds good.

>First, we'd like to contact Millersville and DuPage to tell them about
>our plans and tell them where the Unidata NEXRAD floater page has been
>set up to let them pick the floaters.  Robb says this is ready to go,
>so we could actually start the floater feed with encrypted products
>early.

Excellent.

>Would you be willing to be an intermediary in telling them about our
>plans, if you already know the participants?

Yes, absolutely.

>Do you know if Millersville and DuPage were going to continue to pick
>the floater sites for WSI as well as Unidata?

This question has not been raised.  I would imagine that Millersville
will continue as they have incorporated the process into their
classes.  COD, on the other hand, is an unknown, but I'll bet that Paul
will agree to act as the backup NIDS floater selection site.

I'll be in sometime around lunch.  I have to get a haircut this morning
and then get some exercise.

Tom
