Re: [ldm-users] Request ALLOW access for LDM Upstream Connection

Hi Wesley,

I'm happy to provide you with a data feed from idd.aos.wisc.edu. Can you get me 
your hostname/IP address so I can set up the allow? I'll set you up to feed 
from the DDPLUS data feed (which should contain all the METAR/SPECI reports 
that you're looking for) - can add others later if necessary.

Pete

Subject: [ldm-users] Request ALLOW access for LDM Upstream Connection

Hello All,

I hope this email finds you well. My name is Wesley, and I am currently a 
remote Master's student in Computer Science at Cal Poly. Currently, I am 
working on setting up an LDM instance for an AI-related weather project.

I have successfully installed LDM and configured a fully qualified domain name 
(FQDN) hostname on my Ubuntu instance, but I am encountering challenges with my 
network setup. As a remote student on the East Coast and outside of my 
college's .EDU network, I am seeking assistance in obtaining ALLOW access to a 
compatible upstream LDM server for my connection, as recommended by Unidata 
staff in a ticket.

Our project’s LDM instance is intended to request minimal data, focusing 
specifically on surface observations such as temperature, humidity, and other 
simple information available in METAR/SPECI-formatted reports.

Please let me know if additional details are needed to facilitate this request. 
I greatly appreciate your time and assistance.

I also may have accidentally sent this message twice, so apologies for any 
duplicates.

Thank you!

Best regards,
