Hello Tom, Just wanted to let you know that as of Sunday, Duke Power has their NOAAPORT machine running and feeding to the LDM via my machine, if I request it. If a major breakdown occurs, feel free to let thelma or iita feed from this machine, weather.admin.niu.edu. One note: Mike Dross is feeding this with one feedtype: WMO (he isn't doing the IDS|DDPLUS|HRS breakdown of products that you are doing). This worked fine for me; my pqact gobbled it up with no noticeable problems after two hours. I guess DDPLUS falls under WMO, in LDM's "eyes". Which is good! Anyway, I want to let you know it is there, and I usually catch most major outages quickly, so if you need me, just come on by, anytime. Also, very interesting and very touching UNIDATA Newsletter. I just got it today. That was real classy, and a fitting tribute to Glenn. ******************************************************************************* Gilbert Sebenste ******** Internet: address@hidden (My opinions only!) ****** Staff Meteorologist, Northern Illinois University **** E-mail: address@hidden *** web: http://weather.admin.niu.edu ** Work phone: 815-753-5492 * *******************************************************************************
