Um, read between the lines there, captain... I dont think it was ever intended to be transmitted anywhere but here on this board!

i have a hard time believing that was ever transmitted. The LAWRS reportable value says after 15nm in 5 mile increments however ASOS editing vis maxes out at 10sm. So I don't think you can transmit electronically a metar that would exceed 10sm. We have tried to go above 10 on ours here and it wont take anything above 10.

Actually I just pulled up Mt Washington's METAR....75SM.

I've seen 15, 20, 30 etc. on numerous occasions but never from an automated station.

Why is the word million censored?
