Hi Bret, Welcome aboard! I can confirm the NNEXRAD from stokes, that is what our records indicate as well. http://unidata.ucar.edu/projects/idd/nexradFeed.html However, it does appear as if our site list is a bit out of date re pluto. http://unidata.ucar.edu/projects/idd/sitelist.html For one I do not think blueskies.sprl.umich.edu even exists anymore. Do you see an ldmd.conf.failover in your ~ldm/etc dir and if so who does it name as the new feed host. I will update our records to indicate your current config (and also list you as another point of contact) as it seems to have been working well prior to your recent problems. We can always revisit your upstream hosts if performance becomes unsatisfactory. Thanks for keeping me updated! -Jeff ____________________________ _____________________ Jeff Weber address@hidden Unidata Support PH:303-497-8676 NWS-COMET Case Study Library FX:303-497-8690 University Corp for Atmospheric Research 3300 Mitchell Ln http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/staff/jweber Boulder,Co 80307-3000 ________________________________________ ______________________ On 22 Feb 2002, Bret D.
