This PNS nicely covers things. Will need to add GEMPAK table entries as this relocated RADAR gets a new identifier. I'll ask upstream in a new NCEP NAWIPS is coming as well for this.

From:	    Terrance J. Clark
	    Director, WSR-88D Radar Operations Center

Subject:    Hammond, LA WSR-88D (KHDC) to Begin NEXRAD Level III
	    Product Dissemination on or around March 31, 2024

As notified via PNS23-58, the Slidell, Louisiana WSR-88D was
decommissioned on November 27, 2023 and is being relocated to
Hammond,
Louisiana and renamed as KHDC. Table 1 contains metadata for the KHDC
radar. Table 2 contains the Level-III product suite disseminated via
RPCCDS (https://www.weather.gov/tg/rpccds) and NOAAPORT when the
radar
begins operations as KHDC on or about March 31,2024. Please note that
the KHDC radar will include a supplemental low elevation of 0.3
degrees per SCN24-09.

Table 1: METADATA ASSOCIATED WITH THE KHDC WSR-88D.

DESCRIPTION			  METADATA
ICAO				  KHDC	(Hammond, LA)
WFO sending site		  LIX
Source ID or RPG ID		  874
Latitude			  30.519 (+30° 31' 9.5'')
Longitude			  -90.407 (-90° 24' 26.5'')
Radar Elevation (MSL)		  43 feet
Tower Height			  30 meter
Feedhorn height (MSL)		  157 feet

Within the TTAAII header group (below), the value for i (regional
identifier) will be 4. For example, the header for the GSM will be
NXUS64 KLIX 311500 GSMHDC.

These products will be available via NOAAPORT and from the RPCCDS FTP
site https://tgftp.nws.noaa.gov/SL.us008001/DF.of/DC.radar/ at the
indicated directory names. Exceptions are that super-res reflectivity
and velocity products (153/SDR, 154/SDV) are only disseminated on
NOAAPORT and SDUS6i products are only disseminated on RPCCDS.

Dissemination of supplemental low elevation products began in 2020 at
other sites (see SCN20-42, SCN23-96, and SCN24-09 for more
information).

It is highly likely that a NCEP NAWIPS release will come around the time of the semi-annual NWS AWIPS Geodata updates (early March) that will include a table entry for this relocated RADAR. Will sit tight on adding this entry to $GEMTBL/stns/nexrad.tbl for now

This line has been added to the Unidata GEMPAK installations that generate the FNEXRAD composites with nex2gini, thus adding the station's data to those sets. Working well.

@mzuranski Thanks for the note about this. I am going to ping NCEP again to see when a NAWIPS release is coming...
