Every so often the VP detects these anomalous rain bucket tips when clearly no rain has fallen. Sometimes its caused by dew, sometimes bird droppings, or mysterious events. Is there anyway via a seperate script or perhaps a step-by-step process using existing Linux tools/editors to edit records to edit out this erroneous data ?

Well I don't consider dew to be erroneous, but we shouldn't count bird poop should we Wink?

Short answer is no - I once started working on a separate utility to edit WLK files in a nice human readable way, but got sidetracked about 100 times...

You could use a binary editor (there are several unix alternatives, can't remember the names of them) to edit it if you were very careful and knew exactly how to compute a record's offest in the file and the rainfall field in that record. It would drive you crazy trying to do it though I'm sure.

Maybe one day after I get things like simulator mode working Wink and a chart for reception quality, I can implement this.
