Gilbert,

OK.  The best thing to do is to send a notification to the sites
that have been getting this from you to let them know that you
will no longer be relaying the data.

No worries.

So, when your I2 link is up relaying the FNEXRAD data will not be an
issue anymore?

>Let me know what you think. Thanks!

Sounds good.

Cheers,

Tom
