Here is the list w/ location names.  All in MD/NC.

Most of these sites have been available for ~20 years on NADIN/WMSCR.

I was not aware until now that there were FAA contracts for NADIN service
for non-Federal AWOS sites.  Typically, NADIN service is funded through the
owner of the AWOS directly indepdent of the FAA.
