Jim,

Sorry that I didn't see this before now, but I was involved in moving
from one house to another.

OK.  I just pointed to adde.ucar.edu and ran the same IMGLIST command
that I noted earlier from a McIDAS-X session.  The end of the list showed:

IMGLIST RTIMAGES/GE-IR.ALL

This shows that the 22 and 23 Z images did not come in, but the 0-3 Z
ones did (it is 3:58 Z as I write this).  SSEC folks will undoubtedly
look into this when then get into work on Monday.  I just checked the
reception of NOAAPORT GOES-East GINI imagery, and I see that there was
a full set images for the 22 and 23 Z times, so the problem must be in
the SSEC downlink.

I will make sure that SSEC is aware of the problem.  Sorry for the problems...
