Hi Jeff, I think you should be seeing more NNEXRAD prods now, and I think they should be getting decoded and ready for view via GEMPAK. I am still working on the floater pqact entry but that should not take long. I took the liberty of assigning you region 1: http://205.156.54.206/cgi-bin/chg_show.pl?fn=XR-06ii-state.txt and all the products from those radars. Let me know if this was not an appropriate choice for you. We trying to limit the NNEXRAD to either 3 sites (all prods) or a region with 1 prod i.e. NOR..I have dialed you in for ALL prods from region 1..If this is too much or not enough we can consider other options. Looks like quite a storm rolling through Ohio, rad prods just in time...
