PLEASE NOTE IMO LOCATION CODE - This is what I found in the vmdbsite.txt data table and is different from the code I had been using previously.  Lat/Lon are correct in the data table for Coweta, Oklahoma.  Lat/Lon on this report and in previous recent reports is correct and unchanged.

Cold night.

NOTES:

Long break was unavoidable as I was just too tired and did not want to miss the AMO peak timing so I thought it best to sleep for an hour and then go back out.
