Re: [noaaport] [DATAFLOW #RXH-16399-154] NOAAPort ReXmits

Thanks for all the info Patrick! I was focusing more on the volume peaks 
thinking that was the issue when it seems like the flatlining and resultant low 
volume is the actual problem caused by retransmits. I will definitely be 
looking through your NOAAport trends site to get a better understanding of it. 
Thanks again.
