Paul,
Thank you for the information. It was years ago when I first noticed this,
and haven't really look at products since. When I look at HADS data now,
I see this:
SRUS23 KWOH 072047
RRSALR
SRUS26 KWOH 072049
RRSTUA
I believe KWOH was not used a general WMO source ID initially when the NWS
MAR occurred in the 90s.
I will update my records accordingly.
Boris
