Hi James,
They look like SYNOP reports indeed. That means I will need to dig
deeper. I was actually working on some archived SYNOP data (using
command line entries) and noticed the missing stations. Then, I
noticed that those stations were also missing in the real-time GEMPAK
file. Thank you for sending the GEMPAK file. But I am running out of
ideas on how to debug this problem.
