Data in the LIGHTNING feed is restricted; we are not allowed to relay it in
the IDD.  The ALLOWs we have for LIGHTNING is open to sites within
UCAR/NCAR, but it is not ALLOWed to external sites.

The NLDN lightning data is available as a point to point feed from UAlbany.
The contact information for UAlbany can be found in:

re:
> Thank you for your help!

We're sorry that we couldn't be of more help, but Kevin Tyle of
UAlbany should be able to get you setup.

Cheers,

Tom
