Hi Mike,

This is the note that David Knight of SUNY Albany sent yesterday:

Subject: [ldm-users] no NLDN data

Hi all,
     It looks like we have lost our satellite
downfeed for NLDN data. We will not be
able to send data until we can get the
feed sorted out. It may take some time.
Thanks for your understanding
David

We learned this morning that Vaisala discontinued their satellite broadcast
of NLDN data to subscribers (of which SUNY Albany was one), so the data is
currently not flowing to the Unidata community.  David has been in touch
with Vaisala to find out options for getting the data, and he is keeping
us in the loop.  Hopefully, a mechanism for getting the data from Vaisala
will be setup next week, and the data will return.

In the meantime, you can subscribe to WSI to get USPLN Lightning data:

I hope that this helps!

Cheers,
