[wxqc] Weird Summary contained in daily report

[Gerry Creager N5JXS]

Two things.

1.  I'm trying to stop travelling long enough to work with MADIS folk to 
get CWOP data to them every 5 minutes.  Patty and I talked at the AMS 
meeting specifically about this.  It may require importing all METAR and 
MADIS data and doing the CWOP QC MADIS is performing now, at TAMU.  The 
decision resides with Patty and her folks, though.  She was concerned 
about processing capacity.

2.  Although the 168 hr per week problem is causing a few problems, I 
would be interested in working with you on worldwide QC analysis.
