Hi Mike, re: > Is the server idd.cise-nsf.gov still a valid LDM NEXRAD2 feed server? Yes, but the facility in which it is housed suffered a power outage yesterday (Thursday, October 27). Here is the message that was sent to the address@hidden list that we maintain: A transformer at the NSF failed accompanied by smoke/fire/sprinklers. At this point, no estimated time for repair. Please fail over to your designated backup site(s). Evidently, you are not subscribed to this list, so you did not get the notification of the failure. I strongly suggest that you (or someone else at TVA) subscribe to this list so you can get status messages like this in the future: Unidata HomePage http://www.unidata.ucar.edu Support http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/support/ Participate in topical mailing lists http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/support/mailinglist/mailing-list-form.html The subscription form is on the lower right hand side of the last page. re: > Yesterday at about 2pm EDT, I lost all LDM data feeds from the server. > I also can no longer resolve an IP address for the server. Has it been > retired? Do I need to switch to a different server? Thanks Until idd.cise-nsf.gov is restored, you can feed from idd.unidata.ucar.edu.
