SUBJECT    FORMAT CHANGE FOR CANADIAN SAO REPORTS

EFFECTIVE MARCH 21, 2006, AT 1630 UTC, THE CANADIAN SA REPORTS
FROM UNOFFICIAL SITES (EXAMPLE: NON-METAR) WILL NO LONGER
HAVE CONTROL CHARACTERS (SHIFT OUT) AND (SHIFT IN) SURROUNDING
THE DRY BULB AND DEW POINT FIELD. USERS DISPLAYING THIS DATA
WILL NOT SEE A DIFFERENCE BUT IF THERE ARE AUTOMATED
PROCEDURES SEARCHING FOR THESE CHARACTERS, IT COULD CAUSE A PROBLEM. THESE CHANGES WILL NOT AFFECT THE CONVERSION PROCESS 
THAT THE NWSTG USES TO CONVERT THESE REPORTS TO METAR REPORTS.
