Gerry,

I seem to recall you mentioning frustration with a station reporting in
your area
where the traditional 3 letter identifier also matched one of the
Canadian AUTO8
stations reporting SA's (which I've found to be ADS vs KADS).

I was updating sfmetar_sa.tbl Addison in TX to be KADS to circumvent
this
occurence, and thought I'd check up with you to see if this was your
problem, or if there were other stations you had found.

Thanks,

Steve
