Have you seen the same thing? We successfully processed a composite WMO bulletin that contained multiple SPECI components using the "pqsurf" utility that should be in version 6.6.3 of the LDM package -- so we are unable to duplicate the problem. Would you please send us a composite WMO bulletin that your LDM 6.6.4 didn't correctly process.
