OK, thanks.  Your setup could be cleaned up a bit for readability
sake.  I say this because there are duplicates of feed types
in some of your processing lines.  For instance:

exec    "pqact -f HDS|CMC|FNMOC|FNEXRAD|WMO|DDPLUS|IDS|FSL2|GPS|PCWS 
etc/pqact.gempak_decoders_other"

This can be written more simply as:

exec    "pqact -f CMC|FNMOC|FNEXRAD|WMO|FSL2|GPS|PCWS 
etc/pqact.gempak_decoders_other"

The reason:

WMO == IDS|DDPLUS|HDS

Also in:

exec    "pqact -f NNEXRAD|WSI|FNEXRAD etc/pqact.gempak_nexrad"

The WSI feedtype is reserved for data sent point-to-point from
WSI Corporation.  While I am not sure if you are paying for this
feed, I am guessing that you are not, so the line could be written
as:

exec    "pqact -f NNEXRAD|FNEXRAD etc/pqact.gempak_nexrad"

Also:

exec    "pqact -f IDS|DDPLUS|INTNL|HRS|MCIDAS|NLDN|WMO etc/pqact.wxp"

can be more simply written as:

exec    "pqact -f MCIDAS|NLDN|WMO etc/pqact.wxp"

The reason:

WMO   == IDS|DDPLUS|HDS
INTNL == IDS

Making the above changes will not change anything in your
processing, but it will make it easier to read/understand the
feeds that the various 'pqact' invocations are working on.

Yes.  It is much better to have the processing split up among
multiple, disjoint 'pqact' invocations.

OK.  This looks correct.

Very good.
