Yep, very odd indeed. We have the 2351 KALB ob in both our McIDAS and AWIPS
systems.

This very odd. The data showed up in my GEMPAK file. The decoder uses the
pattern:
WMO ^S[AP]
However, it is not in my data file which uses the pattern:
DDS|IDS|EXP ^S[AP].* .... ([0-3][0-9])([0-2][0-9])
I wonder if there wasn't a corrupt header.
