Hi Anthony,

The location code in that data is definitely empty.  I did a quick check and it is exactly the same waveform as the II.AAK data the DMC is serving with location ID '00'.

I have no idea what happened to that data such that the location ID is not present in the copy you have.  The data in the archive was written pre-2011 and not modified since and such a change is not something the DMC would do during delivery.  Any chance your copy has been modified in the last 4 years?
