Re: wsi vs. noaaport

Hi Amenda,

When Chris and I talked, I think I mentioned getting the actual data log or headers 
of the data missing in NOAAPORT, compared to the WSI datastream.  This would be 
useful information if we sent the information to Julie Hayes at NWS.  I've copied 
Unidata support, in case they know something that I don't about why the data 
received would be different.  I'll wait to see if they respond, and if you could 
provide the additional information mentioned above, that would be helpful too.

Thanks,
Linda
