Hi Pavel, Ok, that sheds some light on the situation...we do maintain NSF's machine, so that would make sense. I am guessing it was Tom Yoksas who helped you. Your NEXRAD is fine, but: On Tue, 16 Jul 2002, Pavel Byles-Howard University Engineering wrote: > > > I will proceed by putting a request for FSL2 in my ldmd.conf: > > request FLS2 "/p...(DDS|IDS)" atm.geo.nsf.gov will not! FSL2 is a different feed than DDS or IDS, so requesting FSL2 with a DDS|IDS action will return nothing. I will place an allow UNIDATA on atm.geo.nsf.gov Then request UNIDATA ".*" from atm. I will attempt to get on atm and make the change. Your pqact.conf entry appears OK: > then in my pqact.conf file I will append this to the entry: > > DDS|IDS ^U[ABDEFGHIJKLMPQRSTXZ].... ....

I will notify you as soon as I have the allow on atm for you.. If you also want the profiler data (FSL2) we go point to point with that from FSL and i will give you the contact, but I think you really want upperair obs..not profiler data, but just guessing.
