Brian,

Peggy was at COMET, so we really don't know what all she
did with the SOO/SAC.

I did a search on the COMET/soo www pages and found:
http://www.comet.ucar.edu/sac/mail/peggy/1998/jan01-feb09/feb-09_33
which refers to some P3 data a few years back.

I looked at the current dcuair decoder for GEMPAK and there is nothing there to
handle the XXAA and XXBB reports, but did find that the NHC has a link
to the AirForce pages with the report specs:
http://www.hurricanehunters.com/tempdrop.htm

From that point, it looks straight forward to decode the obs once the
lat/lon group is handled.
