Hmmm. For me, that's more trouble than it is worth. On another note, I'd 
like to inset a master list of METARs under an SAUS80 header for the LDM 
grabbed externally from the Aviation Weather Center, since I believe they 
are on the AWIPS wide area network and would still get METARs if NP goes 
down.

Thanks to user "4dacres", I can use this script to dump to a file, but my 
pqinsert isn't working. I don't know what to put for "-p". And I want it 
to come across the IDS|DDPLUS feed as SAUS80 KWBC so that if NOAAport goes 
down, I'll also have METARs coming into my local McIDAS, GEMPAK, and WXP 
without changing a thing.

#!/bin/csh
printf "\001\r\r\n000\r\r\n"
printf "SAUS80 KWBC `date +%d%H%M`\r\r\n"
#wget -o /dev/null -O - 'http://adds.aviationweather.gov/metars/index.php?station_ids=@WA%20@OR%20@ID%20@CO%20@MO%20@KS%20@OK%20@NE%20@IA%20@AR&chk_metars=on'| grep FONT | sed -e 's/<\/FONT>/=/' -e 's/<[^>]*.//g' -e 's/$/\x0D\x0D/'
wget -o /dev/null -O - 'http://adds.aviationweather.gov/metars/index.php?station_ids=K&chk_metars=on'| grep FONT | sed -e 's/<\/FONT>/=/' -e 's/<[^>]*.//g' -e 's/$/\x0D\x0D/'
printf "\r\r\n\003"
pqinsert -q /home/ldm/data/ldm.pq -s 999 -f "IDS|DDPLUS"
