Hi again,

It seems that some stations are missing. Example: CWTA
Here is the comparison between an included station and one that is not:

^C^A^M^M
844 ^M^M
SACN95 KWBC 231415^M^M
METAR CWTA 231400Z AUTO 21005KT 27/19 RMK AO1 SLP121 T02670193^M^M
50003=^M^M

^C^A^M^M
511 ^M^M
SACN47 CWAO 231400^M^M
METAR CYHU 231400Z 22011KT 8SM FEW061 FEW090 BKN220 27/20 A2988 RMK^M^M
SC1AC1CI1 HAZY SLP118=^M^M

Any idea why?
