[IDD #DJM-823948]: Feed source for NEXRAD2

Hi Scott,

I apologize for taking so long to get back to you...

OK.  This should be doable.

re:

For now, please setup your LDM feed REQUESTs to use idd.cise-nsf.gov.
It would be best if your IDS|DDPLUS REQUEST is kept separate from
your NEXRAD2 request.  For instance:

request IDS|DDPLUS .* idd.cise-nsf.gov
request NEXRAD2 .* idd.cise-nsf.gov

Comments:

- It is possible that you only need/want to ingest a portion of the
  NEXRAD2 datastream.  If this is the case, you should adjust your
  REQUEST regular expression to request only those stations of
  interest.

  If you are not already familiar with the LDM 'notifyme' utility,
  you should consider investing a small bit of time to learn how
  to use it.  For instance, 'notifyme' can be used to inform you
  of what an upstream feed host is getting and if it has ALLOWed
  you to request those data:

  <as 'ldm'>
  notifyme -vl- -f NEXRAD2 -h idd.cise-nsf.gov

  The output from 'notifyme' will show you the Product IDs of
  the products in the feed(s) you specify.  Example:

notifyme -vl- -f NEXRAD2 -h idd.cise-nsf.gov
