[LDM #IYH-494901]: Inquiry on datasets available through LDM and training

Hi,

My apologies for this very slow reply.  This has been quite a busy week, sigh.

CONDUIT is one of the feeds available in the IDD.

To give you an idea of the volumes of the various feeds, here is a snapshot
of current volumes provided by the real-time stats reporting by a randomly
chosen real-server backend of our idd.unidata.ucar.edu top level IDD
relay cluster:

All of the data being sent in the NOAAPort SBN is available in various
IDD feeds.  CONDUIT is also available.

re:

OK.

re:

I have never used Microsoft Teams, but I see that it is available on my
Windows 10 laptop.

This afternoon looks bad for me for a long conversation, but I'm pretty open on
Monday.  If you'd like to quickly touch base by phone now (it is currently 
12:20 MDT
here in Boulder), you may get enough information to get going.  I have a Zoom
meeting that starts at 1, so the call would need to be pretty short.  Here
is my home phone number in case you do want to call:

1.303.258.0906

re:

I think chatting about what sorts of data you would like to get is the first 
order
of business.  After that, we can help you get the LDM installed and configured.

Cheers,

Tom
