Came across a PIREP that had '/RM AWC-WEB-ASA'. What exactly does this
mean? Sounds like something to do with AWC's web site, but what could
that possibly have to do with a pilot giving a PIREP?

I dunno, but from time to time I've seen Pireps that have nothing to
do with aviation, but something like "Go Sox!" in the remarks section.
Sorta like those off-topic conversations you sometimes hear on Unicom

Heh, reminds me of the time I read a PIREP from a C-206 describing
severe turbulence in Katchemak Bay, AK. In the remarks line was: "Don't
go, it's not worth it!"

Happy Flying!

I saw a PIREP on ADDS from FL000, vicinity of CLS (Chehalis, WA). It
reported ice pellets. The remarks section was "in car on I-5". I think these
things are fairly frequent.

Looks like a route of flight to me. I haven't looked them up, but are they
VOR's?

what' the altitude of CLS? Also what type of airplane? Maybe it was a
"Ford type-unk" I guess now you can say Honda too. :)

Kind of like when I was shopping for a car I was at an Audi dealer where
they also carried Porsches. The guy asked me if I was looking to buy a
Porsche. I said, "Just looking but not to buy. I'd buy a lancair
before Porsche though." He looked at me and said, "You'd buy a
Lancer." I corrected him by saying, "Well the one I want has only
3 small wheels but cruises will cruise at 220 mph and for most of
the trip you never have to even touch the wheel." :)

The comment was under the /RM section, not under the /OV section. In
any case, I looked it up but there are no nav's or airports with those
identifiers.
