Aha…yes, that was the problem with the 40-km grid, so that will be an easy
enough fix! That said, I’m getting a similar, but not quite the same, problem
with the 12-km grid (grid 218), but I’m going to test a couple other things
there first before continuing to fill up everyones’ inboxes. :)
Thanks!
