PVC/KASACR/M1 - Improperly collected PPI data removed from archive
DataStreams:pvckasacrppiM1.a1
Description:
During this time period some PPI scanning occurred while the antenna was at vertical 
incidence.  The antenna elevation was seemingly 'stuck' at 90 degress while the antenna spun 
in azimuth.  The resulting data were of no value and have been removed from the archive.
