Hi Gary, I thought your name sounded familiar..I worked with Jeff at AFIT quite a bit setting up his system. That all sounds great, except NLDN...we have to get that point to point via SUNY-Albany..I can/will initiate that dialog.. They are generally very responsive. I have an "allow" for the other feeds you requested for: tornado.unco.edu on our machine: thelma.ucar.edu You should be all set, and I will notify you when and where to point your NLDN request in the near future..hopefully this afternoon :) Please let us/me know if any issues arise with the data ingest.
