I'm extracting data using the pattern in pqact.conf : DDS ^S[AP][ACHMNPUX][AEKMNSUWX].. .... ([0-3][0-9])([0-2][0-9] It appears that the same observation appears under the SAUS80 and SAUS54 for many stations, such as KAST. I'm essentially storing the same data twice and would like to eliminate one of the headers but can't find "detailed" documentation to indicate the difference. Thanks, Wayne Gibson Oregon State University
