Hi Tony,

I just looked at the latencies for the HDS feed on wxbox:

http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/staff/chiz/rtstats/siteindex.shtml?wxbox.mscd.edu

and see that the clock is drifting.  Did you setup ntpdate as per
our previous conversation:

If so, I need to check with Mike Schmidt about using zero as the time
server for wxbox.
