Can you specify which stations you are not receiving?  We can check to
see if we are getting them or not.  Did this problem just start or
have you never gotten these stations.

The current source of the observations is the NOAAPORT feed which should 
encompass all of the products that are on the Family of Services (DDS, PPS, 
IDS) plus additional datasets.  The change from a FOS source to NOAAPORT 
occurred on December 17, so if that is when you stopped receiving these 
observations, then that would help us track down the problem.  NOAAPORT
comes right out of the NWS Gateway and is distributed via satellite
so if the obs come out of the gateway on NOAAPORT then you should
be getting them.

Please let us know which stations and types of observations you are
not able to get and we can look into this further.

Don,

Thank you,

Al Dutcher will be in contact with you on the details of which stations we
think we are missing.
