Greg,

I provide current pqact.conf tables in the current $NAWIPS/ldm/etc/templates
directory as outlined in the GEMPAK web pages.

The entries below havn't changed though.

The alternative would be to use the 1.25x1.25 thinned grids
(I believe the L tile covers your project area). ^H.[I-P]... KWB.

Also... the UKMET is available on the same 1.25x1.25 global thinned grids.
We also have the NOGAPS/COAMPS from FNOC. ^H.[I-P]... EGRR

Let me know if you want me to send you the current GEMPAK pqact files
in case you don't want to upgrade :-0
