NGS archived datasheets

[+rogbarn]

Does anyone know why some of the NGS state archived datasheets truncated? For example, KS, NE and VA do not have a complete set of datasheets. The datasheets are sorted by designation and KS stops at "BROADWAY", NE stops at "933 RESET" (numerics are first) and VA stops at "P 51". I tried the download a couple of times from different machines and get the same result. If you look at the list on the NGS site at archived datasheets, the file size shows the problem is on their side, especially for KS and NE. Last month, I had the same problem with KY but that one seems to be cleared up with the new monthly archive. Should I just wait for the next set of archives next month?

Honestly couldn't tell you. I get all mine from their FTP, and they're alwayus complete.

Can you share that FTP site?

Oh, sure -

ftp.ngs.noaa.gov

And the archived sheets are in:

/pub/DS_ARCHIVE/ARCHIVE/LAST_MONTH

they're usually no older than a month..

Interesting. I get mine from

ftp://ftp.ngs.noaa.gov/pub/DS_ARCHIVE/DataSheets

similar but not the same. For example, I pulled Kansas from both locations.

/pub/DS_ARCHIVE/ARCHIVE/LAST_MONTH was dated July 6.

/pub/DS_ARCHIVE/DataSheets was dated August 6 and had 8 more lines.

But they both ended after the datasheet for BROADWAY (PID HF0552)

since the datasheets are sorted by designation, the file is missing all markers from BROADWAY thru the Zs.

 

I've sent a request for more information/fix to the NGS but I haven't heard back.
