[wxqc] WxSolution program with a Davis Vantage Pro 2

[Geoffrey Dick]

Kevin,

I just looked at the CWOP QC graphs for your Wx Station AP879
and noticed that your barometer reading is consistantly 3 Millibars 
lower than nearby KGBG Galesburg Municipal Airport and KMQB Malcomb
Muni Airport.  It appears you are all nearly at the same elevation,
AS879 = 771 FT, KGBG = 764 FT., KMQB = 706 FT. 

Who has the correct barometric offset ?  

A green check mark for barometric pressure based on uncalibrated
stations means that one is following the wandering herd of nearby
sheep. 

I believe Dr. Lee has a valid complaint.
