[ldm-users] Seeking low-volume upstream IDD feed for real-time METAR research

Hello,
I operate a small independent weather-market research project and am looking 
for an upstream LDM/IDD provider willing to supply a narrowly filtered, 
low-volume real-time METAR feed.
Stations of interest: KAUS, KLAX, KNYC, KDCA, and KORD.
I am primarily interested in the IDS/DDPLUS or equivalent NOAAPort text feed 
containing routine and special METAR observations. The receiver would run on a 
dedicated Linux server in DigitalOcean at public IP 142.93.241.231. We can 
configure a stable hostname, reverse DNS, and LDM port access as required.
The purpose is to measure end-to-end dissemination latency relative to NOAA’s 
public station files. We would be happy to follow any data-use, bandwidth, or 
operational requirements.
Is anyone able to provide an upstream feed, or recommend a provider that 
accepts non-academic users?
Thank you,
Chris
