If the file was named LIGHTNING, it won't match the pqact entry you have above 
because that is looking for USPLN1EX.

It should have however, matched to your NLDN pqact entry:

# NLDN
LIGHTNING LIGHTNING
FILE -close -edex /awips2/data_store/lightning/%Y%m%d%H%M.nldn

But that also means it should have been stored as something like 
202109281442.nldn

Something doesn't seem correct in your pqact file because the file shouldn't be 
saved in /awips2/data_store/lightning as the file name "LIGHTNING".

For the case of lightning let's not worry about headers at all, only file names 
to simplify it.

I would like to know what is in your /awips2/data_store/lightning directory 
because if LDM is filing the raw product, that's where it should be. And maybe 
list all entries in your pqact file that have a feedtype of LIGHTNING.
