[wxqc] Dewpoint Error

I am very puzzled!
   
  My dewpoint on a daily basis is being recorded as in error (on the high side) and has been doing this on and off for several months now.
   
  In the absence of a Sling Psychrometer I have made a slight adjustment to the stations sensor until I can actually lay my hands on one!
   
  The part that puzzles me is that since I have made the adjustment to my station (about 5 days ago) and the graph seems right on the money I still get the dreaded red x at 97% accuracy, AND as I said earlier this problem has been plaguing me for a month or so, SO WHY if I look at the daily graph,
  http://weather.gladstonefamily.net/site/AS132  I see the red x but over 3 days or longer I get 100% accuracy and a green tick,
  http://weather.gladstonefamily.net/site/AS132?tile=10;days=3#Data
   
  There are enough stations in the immediate area to get a good average against so until I can either make or obtain a Sling Psychrometer, I will remain perplexed and puzzled as to the difference 2 days make to an ongoing problem!
   
  Anyone in the Charlotte, NC area care to lend me a sling? (or check my station sensor if their close by)?
   
  Regards
  Steve, AS132/kf6wax-3
