You are welcome, Kevin! But since I won't be able to access the next release, 
is there any chance I could have an updated STNDB.CORE file when you are done?

Hello Kevin,

I doubt this will hit the list (or at least the attachment won’t), but here are 
about 250 new U.S. , Canada and 2 Mexico
stations that weren’t in your list. Attached is my STNDB.USER file with the 
additions.

We’ve been adding the stations you’ve provided recently, but I might be missing 
a couple.

Hello everyone,

I am pretty sure I am still missing METAR sites, both domestic and 
international, in McIDAS. Is there a text-based version of the database 
somewhere that I can cross-check and see which ones are missing? Or can I make 
one?
