The number of feedtypes is very limited, so use the EXP feedtype for
experimenting.  Be sure that the product-identifiers are easily 
distinguishable from anything else (they could, for example, start
with "NEXRAD3" or some other easily-selected token).  And don't allow
the hosts that receive those data-products on the general IDD.
