[LevelII #WCC-236573]: Level II data for education

Alex,

In general, degree-granting universities and colleges can get NEXRAD Level II 
data for free from our Internet Data Distribution (IDD) network 
<http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/projects/index.html#idd>. Such places can be found 
at <http://rtstats.unidata.ucar.edu/cgi-bin/rtstats/rtstats_sitebyfeed?NEXRAD2>.

Kansas State University doesn't appear to to be a node on the IDD. It could, 
however, become one fairly easily by installing an LDM (the software that 
powers the IDD) and following the instructions at 
<http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/ldm/ldm-current/basics/configuring.html#upstream
 feeds>.
