Hi Brian, As much as we would like to feed everyone, we cannot. We are funded by the NSF to feed educational and research organizations only and do not have the resources (bandwidth) to feed the commercial sector. What issues are you having with your NOAAPort system? We use NOAAPort SBN (satellite broadcast network) to bring most of the data in that we propagate via our IDD (internet data distribution). We have other data offerings as well, but it is mostly the SBN that we share out. What data are you most interested in? You ~might be able to work with a local (or remote) university to feed you the data, they do not have the same restrictions we have and are able to re-distribute the data...just an idea :) Generally, they would want some "quid pro quo" or some benefit to the community to do a feed. > I have setup a new EDEX server and was wondering if there was anyway we > could use your feed to supply us with the data.
