[GEMPAK #BCK-543992]: GEMPAK-metar data



Keshab,

Because some metar obs are reported every 20 minutes, setting DATTIM = LAST 
will sometimes not show any stations for the specified area.  Try setting 
DATTIM to a specific hour (in UTC), or try to define it as a range, such as 
DATTIM = 1500-1700
