Dave,

The IDD feed total can range from 45M to 115M per hour. The average rate
is about 65M that increases as the large models arrive. So I would say
about 1.8G in a day for the IDD.  The WSI radar rate is 3-6M per hour for
about 160 sites.  The average rate is 4M because most sites are not in
high scan mode. This is about 640M per hour or 15.4G per day.  I don't
know how many radar sites that you receive, but in Oct you will be able to
receive all 160 at no cost so I would count on using all of them.

I was checking on a email problem, so hopefully this message will get to
you in time.

Robb...
