Robert,

When gdcross looks for station locations referenced in CXSTNS, 
it calls $GEMPAKHOME/src/gemlib/lcfloc.f which checks in order:

sfstns.tbl
snstns.tbl
snworld.tbl

since I maintain sfmetar_sa.tbl for the realtime metar decoding, 
and sfworld.tbl for the largest database, the best way to ensure
a station is found globally is probably to move sfstns.tbl out of the
way and create a link from sfworld.tbl to that, or create your own 
sfstns.tbl file in your home or work directory. Gempak searches
$GEMTBL/stns last.
