[IDD #IDT-103545]: IDD - FNEXRAD composite quality

John,

I am unaware of any requests from the SPC to Unidata to distribute the products
you are referring to, but will pass this message on to our External Liason for
followup since the availability of new datastreams would be of interest.

If you contact is Lak, would it be OK for us to reference your contact with him
as a starting point?
