Due to the architecture of OpenWebRX, decoding will occur in parallel, and as such I do consider that file to be corrupted by design. The output on STDOUT (which is parsed by OpenWebRX) is lacking some fields, and since the fields in the upload are only identified by their position, I would have to fake values for these fields, which I do not intend to do. \ No newline at end of file
