I see my error, I need to not match on the station sending the data,
but on the AWIPS header, because sometimes the IDs are different.
from ldmadmin watch for Topeka:
Jan 09 18:01:01 pqutil: 2480 20010109180132.557 NNEXRAD 398 SDUS53
KTOP 091752 /pNTPTWX
So, the data is sent by KTOP, but is for KTWX.
Here is the incorrect pqact.conf entry for the base reflectivity product
that I used to store the station name in variable \1:
NNEXRAD ^SDUS53 .(...) ([0-3][0-9])([0-2][0-9])([0-5][0-9]).*/pN0R...
and what it should be:
NNEXRAD ^SDUS53 .... ([0-3][0-9])([0-2][0-9])([0-5][0-9]).*/pN0R(...)
Thanks to all who responded.
