Dear Steve,

I suppose that pps do not need weights under a selfweighting design, 
even though you should coorrect weights if you had no response....
.... I know a researcher that works in INSP too.. so I belive she can 
give you a good advise to create your weights, her name is Hortensia 
Moreno Macías.

Saludos
Carlos Avalos.
