Rob,

I just discovered that I've been pulling data from dusk.ssec.wisc.edu
instead of motherlode... I had switched last week to try and improve
delivery times while UCAR was having a networking problem and forgot to
switch back.  I don't know how much of an impact this will have, but FYI
I've switched back to motherlode now and will monitor. 

                                         Art.
