KDDC is the Dodge City weather radar, a NEXRAD WSR-88D operated by the National Weather Service. The antenna stands in Ford County, Kansas, about 4 km east of Dodge City, and the NWS forecast office in Dodge City is responsible for it.
The Radar Operations Center lists the site as Dodge City with the Dodge City office as its Weather Forecast Office, and NCEI carries it under WBAN number 13985. Wikipedia's NEXRAD site table gives 29 September 1992 as the date its data record begins. Garden City lies about 83 km to the west and Liberal about 116 km to the southwest.
Radar shows rain, snow and hail, not cloud, and nothing below its lowest beam; far from the antenna the beam passes high above the ground.
