We're pulling the firehose feed of NEXRAD3 on one of our servers to
feed/relay to several people, but I'd also like to store some of them on
disk.

However, going by the documentation, I can't seem to get pqact.conf set up
correctly to write the data to a file in a similar manner to how we "stash"
NEXRAD2 scans.

Can someone help me translate the NEXRAD3 equivalent of this (from our
pqact.conf file):

# Data blocks are received...but we don't have all the parts.
> NEXRAD2 ^L2-BZIP2/(....)/([0-9]{8})([0-9]{4})[0-9]{2}/([0-9]{1,4}).*/[SI]
>         FILE    nexrad2/\1/\1_\2-\3.nexrad2
> # The last piece of the scan is received.  We now have the whole scan.
> NEXRAD2 ^L2-BZIP2/(....)/([0-9]{8})([0-9]{4})[0-9]{2}/([0-9]{1,4}).*/E
>         FILE    -close nexrad2/\1/\1_\2-\3.nexrad2


This outputs in this format:
~/data/nexrad2/KXXX/KXXX_YYYYMMDD_HHMM.nexrad2

(We have a folder for each site and then files inside that folder with the
Ymd_HM date format (and just an arbitrary extension.)

Any help would be greatly appreciated...the documentation appears to be
sort of thin and out of date on this topic.
