REMARKS:
1 test drop from 10000ft.
SFC CAL never saved.
700mb CAL was good.
Found 4 winds, fixed Center.
Was tasked by nhc to go all the way over to 85W, and make the 2nd fix
from the NE
They asked we go to 850 mb for the 2nd fix (our option)
We found two distinct centers at 850 ... 90 friggin' miles apart
They liked the 2nd one better, as it was near the original LL fix
So, two fixes total, officially (3, unofficially)
Sonde failed on the last VDM, so did a 2nd 850mb release while
outbound
