My WXTLIST found no match for 71957. I have been trying to find a different station that doesn't have a PPDD in the RAOBRPT listing but does show something in a WXTLIST using the MATCH keyword you note. >Is this a problem that must be fixed by Wisconsin or is there >something I can do? I will have to look into this further and get back to you. Tom
