I updated the McIDAS site station database (STNDB.SITE) with the information
for RJGG from WikiPedia:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ch%C5%ABbu_Centrair_International_Airport

34:51:30?N 136:48:19E

I did the update on the following machines that are under our control:

motherlode.ucar.edu
atm.cise-nsf.gov
unidata2.ssec.wisc.edu

The new value will be included in the next addendum (update) for Unidata
McIDAS-X/-XCD, and I will send a note to the McIDAS folks at SSEC informing
them of the needed change.

Cheers,

Tom
