Another option would be to parse the product before it gets ingested. For

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.
