19991103: NOAAport IDD data

Ted,

I am receiving the NMC2 feed from nora which you are obtaining from NCEP.

I ran a notifyme to nora and see the NMC2 data, but not any NOAAport
data which is what you are refering to from your pqact filing below.
The NOAAport data comes to your system from Penn St., which I mentioned
had sent out a request for downstream sites to move from the ihlseng
machine to navier.meteo.psu.edu.

Checking Penn St.'s logs, I do not see that nora is connected to navier.

You should check your ~ldm/etc/ldmd.conf file and change your
feed request there. After making that change, shutdown the ldm
and restart it.
