Richard,

Be sure your TIMSTN parameter in SNEDIT is set to include
space for the number of times you need in your file (up to 300).
For example, TIMSTN=200/5000 will allow space in the created file for
200 times and 500 stations (assuming you haven't already created the upperair
file using SNCFIL, where TIMSTN should include the number of
times and the number of additional stations over and above the number
of stations in the STNFIL.
