NSA/RWP/C1 - Instrument problem
DataStreams:nsa915rwpwindconC1.a1, nsa915rwpwindmomC1.a0, nsa915rwpwindspecC1.a0
Description:
When data returned to ingest the windcon wind direction and wind speeds are not comparing 
well with the co-located sondes.  Wind direction values are constant, with no changes.  
Problem is that the phase shifter wiring was bad when it was reinstalled.
