Hi

I think the station name for CN.FRB has 2 newlines in it, which is
probably not what was meant. Via DHI, I get this as the name:
IQALUIT, NU, CANADA
A
A

I presume the two lines with the "A" are not needed.

thanks,
Philip

Hi

Looks like there are several more CN stations with this issue, see
wily here, although the line breaks are surpressed in wily's output:

Here are some examples:
FRB  	IQALUIT, NU, CANADA A A
RES 	RESOLUTE, NU, CANADA A
INK   	INUVIK, NT, CANADA NADA A
WHY 	WHITEHORSE, YT, CANADA DA
YKW3 	Yellowknife, NT, CANADA.A
DRLN 	DEER LAKE, NL, CANADA A 	
SADO 	SADOWA, ON, CANADA A A

You would think that the Canadians could spell "CANADA", but I guess not!
 :)

thanks,
Philip
