IDD data retrieval after power outage

[Brendon Hoch]

LDMers,

Last year I was able to minimize data loss during an 8 hour power outage 
by accessing Pete Pokrandt's archives of the raw IDD feeds for DDPLUS 
and HDS (see below).  Unfortunately, Pete no longer maintains this, so 
I'm looking for other options.  I need raw data for DDPLUS/HDS from 7Z 
to 19Z 3 June 2007 and will need data for an upcoming outage on June 
15th.  Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Brendon
