Johns Hopkins, has participated in the past, and is welcome to participate currently. Once your LDM is installed, please respond back with the fully qualified machine name that the LDM is running on, AND the desired feedtypes, please see: http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/ldm/ldm-current/basics/feedtypes/ Unidata will then direct you to an appropriate upstream feed. Note: The LDM machine will need BOTH forward and reverse DNS lookup.
