Hi Markus,

You are allowed to get any feed other than the proprietary point to point
feeds (NLDN, GEM, FNMOC, PCWS), these must come directly from the data
providers.

NLDN =  National Lightning Detection Network

GEM = Environment Canada (GEM Model Output)

FNMOC = Fleet NUmerical Model Operations Center

PCWS = (ACARS Commercial Aircraft data via GSD)


If, in the future, you find a need or desire for the above data types
please contact:

address@hidden

and we will make the contact on your behalf to the data provider.

You are currently allowed all other feeds.

Please see:

http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/ldm/ldm-current/basics/feedtypes/index.html

Also, would you please add the line:

exec    "rtstats -h rtstats.unidata.ucar.edu"

in the file ldmd.conf

located in ~ldm/etc


..it should look something like this:

/local/ldm/etc% more ldmd.conf
####
#
#
####
#
# Programs that share a queue with rpc.ldmd
# are started by it and are in the same process group.
#
exec    "rtstats -h rtstats.unidata.ucar.edu"


Once activated, your stats can be viewed at:

Please point your requests to:

atm.geo.nsf.gov

Your allow is in place.

Cheers and welcome aboard, please let us know if you experience any
difficulties or need any clarification.
