To see U of Hawaii's feeds please visit: http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/cgi-bin/rtstats/siteindex ...and scroll down to: edu.hawaii.ifa mkwc2.ifa.hawaii.edu [6.6.5] wx.ifa.hawaii.edu [6.6.5] wx1.ifa.hawaii.edu [6.6.5] edu.hawaii.soest uila.soest.hawaii.edu [6.7.0] You may also want to see the "stats" page by feed, not host, that is at: http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/cgi-bin/rtstats/feedindex They have some IDD feeds coming onto their systems, but not a complete set, hence we chose Wash for your feed. We have yet to hear back from them...holidays...what kind of a time frame are you working in? We can open up our servers to you in the interim (until we hear back from Wash), if you are "chompin at the bit" :) Let us know your time constraints and we will work with you to get you what you desire...when it is desired.
