hfradarpy's Issues

error writing an empty Radial file

I can read in a radial file that has no radials but cannot output an empty radial file using hfradarpy.Radials.to_ruv(). An empty radial file as the header metadata but no radials in an LLUV Table (see attached file --
RDLi_HATY_2020_10_08_2100.txt) and the Table looks like this.

%TableType: LLUV RDL3
%TableStart:
%%
%%
%TableEnd:
%%

I might be doing something wrong in qccodar do_merge(), but by reporting the issue here I hope that you might know how to address it. I'll be looking at it too since it is holding up reprocessing at UNC.
