We did get 1315Z GOES-8 data and a 1300Z GOES-10 IR image. Over the last two months, our receipt of McIDAS GOES AREA files has been a real problem. It seems that LDM is frequently having problems at our upstream sites with the McIDAS data. Since these problems didn't seem to happen much before, I am wondering if there might be a problem with the latest release of LDM. I don't know what version SSEC uses or UIUC or UMICH, but I can't think of anything else that might have changed. In any case, I think this problem is significant enough that Unidata should investigate the problems with the McIDAS GOES AREA files and hopefully find a solution. There hardly seems to be any problems with NIDS and NLDN data feeds by comparison. The GOES problems have resulted in frequent extended outages. Jim -- James P.
