Hi Brian,

The NLDN lightning data is distributed by point-to-point LDM feeds.  Given
this your request should be sent to:

Dr David Knight
address@hidden
address@hidden

> as well as a backup ldm feed from Albany
> (gusher.atmos.albany.edu) for everything but *NEXRAD,

Include this request in your email to David.

> and Penn State

The IDD site contact at Penn State (ldm.meteo.psu.edu) is:

Art Person

Both the GEM (CMC) and NOGAPS (FNMOC) feeds are done as point-to-point LDM
transfers from injection sites.  The site contact list page referenced above
should have the contact information you need.
