Sounds good.

We were originally going to put the products into the NGRID feed.  I
decided that this would be a bad since it would be breaking an unwritten
contract with end-users that NGRID has always been and will continue
to be a vehicle for distributing model output from NOAAPort.

I just changed the feed type in the pqact.conf_fnexrad link to
specify FNEXRAD instead of NGRID.

I think I have been working too much lately :-(

Thanks for sending me the corrections!  (seriously!!).

Cheers,

Tom
