I've seen major degradation of NEXRAD3 since this switch. Radar data is
missing for entire sites. I've confirmed this is the case at other upstream
providers who have their own NOAAPORT dishes as well.

On Wednesday, September 26, 2018, the NCF will be
switching its Server Operations from the Backup
AWIPS NCF (BNCF) in Fairmont, WV to the
Primary AWIPS NCF (ANCF) in Silver Spring, MD. The
switch transition will take place as follows:
.
0500 UTC - ITO switch to ANCF

The switch will not be done on a critical weather

issues warranting postponement.
.
All ANCF message distribution (MHS) will be
repointed to the BNCF. The switch will take about
20 minutes. Data will queue while the switch is in
progress and will be sent once the switch is
complete. This will affect data originating at NWS
field offices and National Centers on the AWIPS
network including radar data.
.
Any questions or issues should be addressed to the
AWIPS/NCF helpdesk at 301-713-9344.
